I installed 9.2RC2 on VMware. I can startx, but when I exit from the Xwindows. My console is all warped. I get four tiny screens. The two on the top is identical. Two at the bottom, I can't see anything, but grided color lines. I need to reboot machine to get the normal text again. Does anyone know a fix for this?
I don't meant to sound flippent, but the best way to handle this problem is to throw VMware out the window, ( at least where this application is concerned ) and install Mandrake on it's own partition and run it natively. I really don't see the sense if running Mandrake in this manner when the support to run it natively exists.
No... I'd actually like to see this fixed as well (I get the same behaviour here).
Trust me, having this in vmware is very very convenient. While I'm running 9.2/cooker/whatever as my primary desktop, I'm also running everything from Mandrake 8.2-cooker in vmware. It's invaluable for testing stuff. With vmware, I have about 2 dozen operating systems/Linux variants/versions on this machine with only one host OS. For something like that, vmware is invaluable.
Hi Vincent,
Actually I hadn't thought of it that way and I see your point.
