[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 as vmware guest - autofit does not work
Hi, I installed 10.3 in vmware server (running on 10.2 :) ), just to check it out. I installed the vmware-tolls in the guest as well, and ran vmware-config.pl there. Now, 2 problems popped up: 1. The auto-release of the mouse did not work at first - it seems the config script does not update xorg.conf properly. After I changed the driver for the mouse from "mouse" to "vmmouse" and restarted X, this function is working. 2. The autofit guest function is not working. I have it selected, but when I go in Quick View mode, it does not change the guest resolution. I googled around, and searched the vmware forums, but did not find any solution. All documnets I find are just How-To's, where it says it should work. And it does not. Any advice how to proceed? Besides using Xen of course :) Cheers -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version of VMWare Server are you running? What version of the VMWare Tools were you installing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What version of VMWare Server are you running? What version of the VMWare Tools were you installing?
It is 1.0.4 from vmware.com (the server, the tools, the console). Installed this morning. But it was the same with 1.0.3 yesterday, when I install 10.3. That's why I upgraded the server and the tools. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
