Does anyone have vmware-tools from the recent server 1.03 release
running in a CentOS5 guest VM? vmware-config-tools.pl goes through the
motions except for building the vmhgfs module (which it says is only
needed for mapping the host file system) but then X won't start up with
the new configuration.

The vmware-config-tools.pl fails to write a Monitor section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I add the following to all of mine: Section "Monitor" Identifier "vmware" VendorName "VMware, Inc" HorizSync 1-10000 VertRefresh 1-10000 EndSection I got the above values from doing an X -configure in the VM. Unfortunately, *that* hangs the display and requires a restart. It also generates a massive number of unnecessary ModeLines. Just adding the above section to my VMs was my quickest solution. Hope this helps, K^2
