[Apologoes if this is a duplicate message; I didn't see the original
make it to
the news group.
Unfortunately, me too...
Switching X to 16 bpp didn't help. I still get a 1024x768 screen with
windows/frames,
but no text, no mouse/keyboard and strange lines in the windows/frames.
(My X screen is
1600x1200 @ 16 or 24 bpp.)
I checked (and saved) my vmware log file, and I didn't see anything unusual.
I'm running Win2K guest on Linux host successfully.
I've appended my config file if that's of any use.
Any suggestions on how to proceed to identify the problem?
Thanks.
