Hi,
Is there someone who experienced issue running Fedora 10 on VMWare 6.5 ? for example when i switch on the effects for desktop, everything becomes black or white... and i can reinstall the whole F10 :-(
Unfortunately, the VMware video drivers for F10 do not support the required acceleration needed to run Desktop Effects when running F10 in a VM on Workstation 6.5. That's why you're getting the blank white screen.
F10 in a VM on Workstation 6.5 + Desktop Effects = Bad Idea.
Cheers,
Chris
I'm reopening this issue not as such but as complementary information. when i run F10 (without desktop effect) under KDE, it always starts in 800x600 under VMWare 6.5 whereas last session i set it up to 1200 x 800 or to 1152 x 864. moreover, i setup the KDE Manager to display the same login windows as F10 KDE live... but nothing is displayed.
so where could be the problem ? thx.
