X is using the vmware driver as well.
The problem is, that it does not resize the screen when I change from normal to "QuickSwitch" or FullScreen mode, as it does if I install vmware tools from vmware (I did not try on beta3, but thats how it worked on 10.3 and other guests).
Also, X by default uses the standard mouse.ko module, but not vmmouse.ko, which prevents the "auto-release" functionality, i.e. I need to hit Ctrl-Alt in order to release the mouse pointer from the vm. Changing the mouse driver in xorg.conf to vmmouse solved this problem.
Does anyone knows how to enable the auto-resize feature, and how to make the clipboard work between the host and the vm?
Thank you very much for this report, actually, there should also be a icon in the notification area appearing, should this work. What DE did you use? KDE? Gnome? Anything else? There is sort of an auto-detection running to decide if the Graphical helper has to kick in. I'm just going to install a Beta3 in a VM now to tackle it down a bit more. As I understand: - vmxnet (Network card driver) is laoded properly - Graphic Card driver is loaded properly - Mouse driver is not correct (mouse instead of vmmouse) - Clipboard sharing does not work (this indicates that the helper app did not start) There is also a init script that should be started at boot; can you check if that one was started? (check with rcvmware-guest status) Thank you very much, Dominique --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
