Thanks for the tip! I have also found another way to make a Linux (Unix) guest much more responsive: Instead of working through the VMware Server console, start a remote X session from the host to the guest. This obviously requires an X server on the host, so for a Windows host that would need to be installed. I have used <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming" rel="nofollow">Xming</a> with great success. What I usually do is to open an SSH connection from the host to the guest and then launch applications (Emacs, GIMP, etc.) from there. The gives performance and responsiveness comparable to running Linux non-virtualized. An added bonus is that you can immediately Alt+Tab between Linux applications and Windows applications.

Google on alizard and VMware, the how-to article I wrote on VMware Server has got to be on the Net somewhere.

I have been hesitant about fully migrating because I hadn't been able to figure this out before. Now that I've done it, it's really simple... Thank you very much for this!

]]> Comment on Installing ATI graphics drivers on OpenSUSE 10.2 by Christian Krog Madsen http://christian.krog-madsen.dk/2007/04/06/installing-ati-graphics-drivers-on-opensuse-102/#comment-37 Christian Krog Madsen Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:55:47 +0000 http://www.krog-madsen.dk/wp/2007/04/06/installing-ati-graphics-drivers-on-opensuse-102/#comment-37 Hi Chris, Are you using a VGA or DVI cable to connect the monitor? Try switching to the other type and install the ATI driver again. Although not entirely related, I did once have a problem getting a flat panel display to work at the correct resolution. After exchanging the DVI cable with a VGA cable it worked. I doubt that the 9100 should be limited to 1600x1200 when the specs also say that it supports up to 2048x1536 @ 32bpp resolution. I hope you find a solution. Hi Chris,
