vga vmware option

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

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.

Hi Javier,

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