I might off topic here, but I desesperatly try to install a vmware
Scientific Linux 4.1 guest on vmware (host is windows xp) .
Everything works fine except screen resolution. A better place to ask
might have been xorg team , because the issue I have is related to
screen resolution : It cannot be higher than 800x600 which is really
disappointing as my Thinkpad T40 laptop windows host (with ATI Radeon
card)  can display 1280x1024.
With vmware I think you have to use a "vmware driver" but each time I edit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf with resolution higher than 800x600 (depth is 24)
the next X session displays a messed up screen
Any idea ?
