Hi,
I am installing a virtual machine using VMware and I could not
get the video graphics working. Here is the scenario:
Hardware I am using:
IBM T30 (laptop)
256 MB RAM
36 Gig disk space
one cpu
Windows 2000 (Base Operating System)
1. I downloaded the VMware workstation from VMware site.
2. Installed VMware on top of Windows 2000
3. From VMware, I installed RedHat EL WS.
RedHat EL WS loaded.
I got my login prompt, I login and got the root prompt.
I can telnet, ftp and so on, BUT when I tried to bring up
the GNOME window by entering "startx", I could not bring
it up. Follows is the error log from /var/log/XFree86.0.log.
====================================
XFree86 Version 4.1.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.1.0-44) / X Window

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

===============================
I tried to follow the recommendations fromVMware site:

by using the precompiled object, but still it is not working.
Any idea?
