The config file you use when you're booted into Linux is not going to work when you're in VMWare. Think about it: In Linux, the X server is accessing your video card. In VMWare, the X server is accessing a virtual video device. You'll need two config files most likely. http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/guest_linux_xf864.html I don't know what the problem is because when I boot to redhat 9 the X server runs correctly. I attached the error message in this email. -- l8*, -lava peace, love, UNIX(R) NOTE: When replying to a mailing list post, please be sure to reply to the /list/ and cc: or bcc: myself as I am unable to promise a timely response. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
