It shouldn't, because VMWare needs to emulate a full virtual hardware. It would be really great if VMWare just would translate over the actual hardware, but that is not hte case. That's why you have a specific VMWare gfx card and a soundblaster and all this stuff, no matter what your real hardware is. On the other hand this is also an advantage, because you can copy your image anywhere and run it without any local adaption. >It does but it's hidden.

I will do this. :) Good idea. I had the same problem with my laptop, because I didn't know what XConfig I should create, but I never thought of running knoppix to do this. :) Excellent idea! :) On my main machine I just saved the one from Suse. :) >You should be able to connect to a pipe or socket or something.
