It's exactly the same problem I am having, with VMware 3.1 under linux
as well as windows 2000.
As user [none] I can log in and inspect some files, but I do not know
how to configure the video. $vgasize is set to 1024x768x16. Maybe
VMware does not support this mode, but where can I set a different
one?
I managed to disable hardware acceleration (I think) for glenda by
mv-ing /rc/bin/termrc.local to something else, but how can I edit a
file when I'm in text mode? acme needs a framebuffer.
