Does anyone have vmware-tools from the recent server 1.03 release

up with the new configuration.
Yup, had the same problem. 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,
Thanks - it works now, but it seems like I have to run vmware-toolbox
inside the X session to make it release the mouse at the edge of the
window without the ctl-alt keystroke. I didn't think earlier versions
needed that, or started it automatically. Is something else missing?
