Mandriva works in Fusion, but still a question.

[rsander5]

I have been able to install mandriva 2007 within fusion including the vmware tools, allowing for drag and drop across the desktops.

I do have a question: is it possible to resize the linux window without having to run the configuration wizard?

Thank you,

bob

Are you looking for a variable resolution size or a specific-resolution? If you want a specific resolution or size you can set your maximum preferred resolution by adding these lines to your .vmx file

svga.maxWidth = "1152"

svga.maxHeight = "862"[/code]

Substituting your own values, of course

What happens when you drag the little grab handle in the lower right corner of the window? I have an Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 VM, and resizing the VM's window immediately results in the Linux desktop resizing itself (this also works in Windows VMs).

This feature depends on the latest'n'greatest version of VMware Tools being installed. It sounds like you probably have those installed already, because you have drag-and-drop working. But for the benefit of everybody else: note that installing VMware Tools in a Linux/Unix VM is not just a matter of choosing Virtual Machines -> Install VMware Tools from the menu. After you do that, you have to follow the instructions in the guest OS installation guide. For instance, here's Mandriva's instructions: http://pubs.vmware.com/guestnotes/guestos_mandriva2007.html
