I tried to update the Nvidia graphics driver, as I do have this, however, when I typed in: su root /sbin/init 3 It closed my terminal, closed the desktop and seemed to be restarting VMware, it went to the start up page for VMware, and asked me for username and password, so I typed that in, expecting it to take me into my actual VMware desktop, which it didn't and it instead asked me to type commands in this start up page...now I can't get into the actual desktop...how can I get back in?

Sebastian mentions some possible workarounds in his email. The first one to try, assuming you have an Nvidia graphics card, is to update the driver. To do this: su root /sbin/init 3 /usr/bin/nividia-installer --update (follow the instructions) often times this update fixes the tksurfer 'sliver' problem. outside of that, you can try overriding the mesa drivers. you'll need to talk to your sysadmin to do that.
