I am having problems running RedHat linux 6.2 'zoot' under Windows NT VMWare
2.0.4. No problems initialy, X ran in full (1400x1050) resolution under
Windows NT. My platform is an IBM Thinkpad A20p 2626-6CU.
However when I upgraded to X 4.1.0 (binary install for glibc 2.1.3)and
re-ran the VMWare Tools install X stopped functioning.
I then adjusted my configuration file as per
http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/guest_linux_xf864.html. I now
have an error when I run X. Here is the error messages from the log file.
(EE) VMWARE(0): No Display subsection in Screen section "accel" for
depth/fbbpp
(...)
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
Attached is the error log and config. Thanks in advance for your help.
(...)
Fatal server error:
no screens found
X -configure isn't getting me much of anywhere either. I have played with
the Config files a bit but I am a newcomer to the linux world (Solaris is
another matter).
Two files follow XF86Config.vm and XFree86.0.log

Here is the configuration file (/etc/X11/XF86Config.vm, /etc/X11/XF86Config

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# XkbModel "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# XkbModel "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# XkbLayout "de"
# or:
# XkbLayout "de"
# XkbVariant "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

# XkbOptions "ctrl:nocaps"
