I would uninstall the Nvidia support completely to be on the safe side (i.e. remove the package or at least blacklist the kernel module), but that may not be necessary. > In both cases > though they start with the wrong screen resolution relative to the > resolution that the vmware player is using.

I use KDE under X as currently Wayland support for KDE is running behind Gnome. You may want to ask on the KDE list for more information. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
