Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has had any luck using
VMware-workstation-3.2.0-2230
in full screen mode? After enabling DGA using the following in my
XF86Config:
--
SubSection "extmod"
Option "xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection
--
vmware then reported:
--
MKS|[msg.mouse.badDevice] Cannot open host mouse device "/dev/wsmouse0":
No such file or directory
MKS|[msg.mks.mouseOpenFailed] Unable to open host mouse device for
full-screen VGA.
MKS|[msg.dvga.powerOnFailed] Full-screen VGA will not be available.
--
This could be expected, as ws* devices aren't used under linux - I've
tried a symlink (as
the other linux emulated devices are configured) , but am told:
--
MKS[msg.mouse.badDevice] Cannot open host mouse device "/dev/wsmouse0":
Device or resource busy
--
I have a USB mouse (wsmouse0 at ums0 mux 0) - and was wondering if a
PS/2 mouse
(and a new kernel config) might work, or if there is another way to
share a mouse device?
Thanks in advance,
Matthew Aldous.
