When I told this to my linux guru (our network guy) he said that he suspects that VMWARE is not compatible with XFree86 v. 4***. Perhaps going to version 3 would solve the problem.

[newbie] troubleshooting vmware Xfree86 DGA support
I just installed VMware 2.04 in mandrake...it run's. there is only one thing i can't figure out when i start Vmware it gives the following message : ! no xfree86 DGA support for this X-screen ! ! xfree86 Digital Graphics (DGA extension) initialisation failed ! and when i run a virtual win98 machine it says the following : ! The virtual machine will not be able to run in full-screen SVGA mode, because your X-server does not support the Xfree86 DGA extension for direct-to-frame-buffer graphics or because DGA is supported but the virtual machine cannot use it ! I am running mandrake 8.0 with XFree86 4 anyone has a clue? thanx in advance Tycho

Apparently it allows you to run virtual machines on your linux box. Give them a look at www.vmware.com . If you have a boxed set of LM7.2 I know there is a RPM there for VMware
