vga vmware option

vga vmware option

[Christian Roessner]

Hello,

excuse me for this little question. I found the

-vga vmware

option. I have tried any tricks I new to get the WinXP driver installed,
but failed. Is there some web address where to gather information on how
to use this option?

I downloaded the vmware-server-2.0, extracted it, took the windows.iso
as -cdrom parameter, but the installer tells me, my (kvm) guest should
be a virtual guest ;-). So the installer finished.

Thanks in advance

Christian

hi,

i tried that too, but then found that somewhere it says that it's not
for this.  it seems that the vmware display specifications isn't
documented, but they provide a driver for xorg, so it was possible to
reverse-engineer it.  this option is supposed to be useful for linux
and unix-like OSs running xorg.  the vmware driver for windows isn't
supported.

thanks for your really fast answer. It´s a pity that is not supported :-(
