Titolo: VMware 3.3.1 e RedHat 7.3 - XWindows non VA!

Salve a tutti !!
Qualcuno può darmi una dritta ????
Sotto Windows XP ho installato Vmware ( ultima versione ) ed ho installato
virtualmente  REDHAT 7.3, ma qui incominciano i problemi.
Non riesco a far partire XWindows anche dopo aver scaricato i driver dal
sito WMware i driver SVGA. Ho cercato di modificare il file XF86Config-4
come da loro specificato ma niente.
Mi da sempre l' errore che non riesce a caricare lo " Screen Device"
Cosa devio fare ???
Grazie 1000!!!

 come da loro specificato ma niente.
Wmware non utilizza la vera scheda video ma "ne crea una virtuale generica".
E' importante che tu installi i TOOLS. Poi segui queste istruzioni alla
lettera:
------------------------------------
Installing VMware Tools in a Linux Guest Operating System
  1.. Power on the virtual machine.
  Note: If you have an older version of VMware Tools installed, terminate
the running version before installing the new one.
  2.. When the guest operating system starts, prepare your virtual machine
to install VMware Tools.
  Choose Settings > VMware Tools Install.
  Note: If you decide not to proceed with the installation of VMware Tools,
you may cancel the operation by selecting Settings > Cancel VMware Tools
Install.
  3.. In a terminal, become root.
  su
  4.. Mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image, copy its contents to
/tmp, then unmount it.
  Note: You do not use an actual CD-ROM to install VMware Tools, nor do you
need to download the CD-ROM image or burn a physical CD-ROM of this image
file. The VMware Workstation software contains an ISO image that looks like
a CD-ROM to your guest operating system. This image contains all the files
needed to install VMware Tools in your guest operating system. When you
finish installing VMware Tools, this image file no longer appears in your
CD-ROM drive.
  cd /
  mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
  cp /mnt/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz /tmp
  umount /dev/cdrom
  5.. Untar the VMware Tools tar file in /tmp and install it.
  cd /tmp
  tar zxf vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
  cd vmware-linux-tools
  ./
install.pl
  6.. Start X and your graphical environment if they are not started yet.
  7.. In an X terminal, launch the VMware Tools background application.
  vmware-toolbox &
  You may run the VMware Tools background application as root or as a normal
user. The application has additional capabilities if you run it as root.
Note: The ./
install.pl
 installation script included with the VMware Tools
package for Linux guest operating systems does not recognize Linux-Mandrake
installations. To install VMware Tools on top of Linux-Mandrake
installations, add redhat as a command line parameter when you run the
installation script. For example, run the following command:
./
install.pl
 redhat
Starting VMware Tools Automatically
You may find it helpful to configure your guest operating system so VMware
Tools starts when you start your X server. The steps for doing so vary
depending on your Linux distribution and the desktop environment you are
running. Check your operating system documentation for the appropriate steps
to take.
For example, in a Red Hat Linux 7.1 guest using GNOME, follow these steps.
  1.. Open the Startup Programs panel in the GNOME Control Center.
  Main Menu (the foot icon in the lower left corner of the screen) >
Programs > Settings > Session > Startup Programs
  2.. Click Add..
  3.. In the Startup Command field, enter vmware-toolbox.
  4.. Click OK, click OK again, then close the GNOME Control Center.
The next time you start X, VMware Tools starts automatically.
