I am using VMware Workstation 5.5.5 on 64 bit Win XP. I have created a VM with Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Edition for AMD64. I installed the VMware tools in the Ubuntu guest, using tips found here:
When I run vmware-config-tools.pl, I get the (error) message:
No drivers for X.org version: 1.3.
I have used the tips found here:
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/109560
To modify vmware-config-tools.pl (the edits required are slightly different than what is reported in thread 109560, because that thread is for VMware Fusion). I changed my file as follows:
Change line 4307 from:
$major = $1;
To:
$major = $1 eq 1 ? 7 : $1;
Change line 4472 from:
if ($minor == 0) {
To:
if ($minor ge 0) {
This change gets me past the "No drivers for X.org version: 1.3." message. Now when I run vmware-config-tools.pl, I get the (error) message:
X Window System Version 1.3.0
