My host OS is W2K Pro SP4 and am running VMware version 4.02 build-5592. 9.2RC2 would display the text properly if I boot into console mode. startx would display properly too. But after I exit from the Xwindows session, the text mode would be messed up. I get 4 tiny windows (one on each corner), two on top would be identical, two at the bottom--I can't see anything. The text from the top two windows are so tiny and fuzzy that I can make anything out of it. I did install VMware tools. Without it Xwindows won't start. Also during installation, Mandrake was able to identified the video card as VMware virtual driver. Is there a way to reset this without reboot the 9.2RC2? Regards, Norman
