Centos resolution in vmware
Hi all. I am using windows XP as host machine with vm workstation 6.
I want my Gui resolution to be changed to 1024x768 but i am not getting any idea as how to solve it. According to my research, following are the relevant results for you guys to look into [root@WAN-Admin ~]# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i x11 Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.1.1-48.76.el5 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" (==) RgbPath set to "/usr/share/X11/rgb" [root@WAN-Admin ~]# [root@WAN-Admin ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Videocard0" Driver "vmware" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection [root@WAN-Admin ~]# In my .vmx file, i also entered the following svga.vmSize= "33554432" But no result. When i restarted the machine (vm machine) and checked the logs, this is what i got [root@WAN-Admin ~]# cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep 1024 (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1280x1024" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1600x1024" (hsync out of range) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using default mode "1024x768" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) (II) VMWARE(0): Not using mode "1280x1024" (no mode of this name) (II) VMWARE(0): Modeline "800x600" 36.00 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync [root@WAN-Admin ~]# Kindly guide me, what shall i do |
Ok guys, solved this one too
After searching over the net, i found the working xorg.conf file. I am writing the solution here so whoever finds it can benefit from it. Note- All the following steps are performed under Gnome. If you are in shell mode, type gdm to start gnome 1) Vmware workstation 6.0.2 2) Vmware Tools NOT installed 3) Following is the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/ ------------------------------------------------------------ [root@WAN-Admin ~]# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "us" EndSection Section "Monitor" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: Identifier "vmware" VendorName "VMware, Inc" ### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC: HorizSync 1.0 - 10000.0 VertRefresh 1.0 - 10000.0 ModeLine "640x480" 100.0 640 700 800 900 480 500 600 700 ModeLine "800x600" 100.0 800 900 1000 1100 600 700 800 900 ModeLine "1024x768" 100.0 1024 1100 1200 1300 768 800 900 1000 ModeLine "1152x864" 100.0 1152 1200 1300 1400 864 900 1000 1100 ModeLine "1280x1024" 100.0 1280 1300 1400 1500 1024 1100 1200 1300 ModeLine "1600x1200" 100.0 1600 1700 1800 1900 1200 1300 1400 1500 EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "VMware SVGA" Driver "vmware" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "VMware SVGA" Monitor "vmware" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 4 Modes "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 8 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 15 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024" "1600x1200" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection [root@WAN-Admin ~]# --------------------------------------------------------------- I would recommend taking the backup of original xorg file. 4) type gdm-restart 5) Now type system-config-display. This shall open the display window. Now you should be able to see different resolutions in drag-down menu. Choose the one thats suits you :-) After choosing, type gdm-restart to make it take effect.
