[ltp] problems with vmware and display - workarounds do not work

[Leo Gürtler]

Hi,

I tried switching to a console and switching to fullscreen.
Both does _not_ work for me - i.e. no change.
But I had several occasional trials with vmware that (after booting the 
computer and then trying vmware) no colors were messed, but only till I 
stopped and resumed the guest OS. Then the colortables were messed up 
again, and this does not succeeded every time.

Any further suggestions?
Maybe some parameters in XF86Config-4 ? Can one of you send me your 
XF86Config-4 please so that I can check that (maybe privately and not 
via the list).

thanks + greetings,

leo
