Hello all,

This may not be the best place to ask this, but its not entirely 
inappropriate.

I have recently downloaded the free VMServer, created a virtual machine and 
installed XP Pro.  When I try to switch to full screen mode (using the 
toolbar or CRTL-ALT-<enter>)  not only does this *spectacularly* fail to 
work, but I am kicked out of my KDE session and wind up back at the kdm login 
screen.  Not Good.  This is using the nvidia binary driver (1.0-9629).

However, if I change the screen resolution in XP to match what my monitor is 
using (1280x1024) *before* switching to full screen mode, the full screen 
works OK, but then of course the non-full screen view requires scroll bars to 
navigate the desktop.

If I switch to the supplied open nv driver, the full screen mode works fine, 
regardless of the selected resolution of XP (at least the ones I have tried).  
The monitor switches to 800x600 for example and the XP "desktop" fills the 
entire screen.  In the non-full screen view the XP desktop just sits inside 
the VMware application as I would expect it to.

I suppose this could be a bug in the binary nvidia driver, but it might also 
have something to do with my particular settings. I am just not very familiar 
with virtual machines so I though I would ask here.  Anyone else seeing this 
behavior?

kde 3.5.5 release "45.1"
VMware 1.01
nvidia driver 1.0-9629
kernel 2.6.16.21-0.21-smp
