I'm trying VMware 3.2 on Red Hat Linux 7.3, custom-compiled kernel. 
Graphics chip is an integrated Intel 845G.

I am running the very latest (as of one day ago) XFree86 from CVS, main
trunk.  My XF86Config-4 file is below.

Performance with the Win2k guest OS is almost acceptable in the windowed
mode, but when switching to full-screen mode, after I get the warning
that DGA acceleration isn't supported by my drivers, I then find that
performance is essentially okay, with one big BUT: the screen image is
shifted up and to the left, quite a bit.  It generally wraps at the
right edge.

I've tried a variety of depth, fbbpp and resolution settings on both the
guest os and the linux machine itself.  Nothing seems to work.  When I
have depth 16, I do find that DRI is working (doesn't work in 24), but
this doesn't seem to have anything to do with DGA acceleration (I'm new
to all this).  Any tips?  I have read in past posts that there is an
open issue about whether the fault here lies with VMware or with driver
maintainers who don't feel that DGA acceleration is the part of the
driver.  Question is: what to do in the meantime?  Are there any other
options to explore?  I'm nowhere smart enough to hack at the driver code
myself.
