Hello Michael, * Michael Hunold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [20030921 18:39]: > did anyone have success running "vmware" with XDirectFB?
yes, vmware 3.2.0 (build 2230) works (see below) for me. I don't have a license for or was able to try a more recent version, but this one works for me, and newer ones should as well. > "No DGA mode found compatible with 1280x1024, depth 24, bpp 32 > XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) power on failed. there is no DGA extension for XDirectFB yet, but this should 'only' mean you can't to fullscreen mode .. > "Failed to determine language-specific keyboard mapping.

This should circumvent the keyboard mapping problem for the time being - no problem with the mouse at all. Greetinx Count -- Andreas Kotes - ICQ: 3741366 - The views expressed herein are (only) mine.
