VmWare Tools for Solaris 10 Update 3

[mshintre]

I just downloaded the latest version of Solaris 10- Update 3 for VmWare Workstation. However, there are no clear instructions on how to run the tools and get the desired desktop resolution change. There are a few threads on the same topic out there , but were confusing for a layman like me.

Does anyone know of crisp 'steps' to install vmwaretools ( or any other method) to change the SunSolaris 10-Update 3 resolution?

User Manual-->Installing VMware Tools for Linux Guests? I think I followed those steps. Or, look through the Guest OS Installation Guide.

Where can I access the Installation Guide you are talking about?

Thanks Kevin - But the same post is in our Forum too. I could not get it running even then. I have tried all methods, believe me ( Installing VmWare tools, configuring XSun - & finally the xorg file too)

I guess I am just too dumb!

The first link in my posting is the installation guide

The second link is the WS doc on how to install VMware Tools

The third link is about how to adjust the screen resolution is Solaris 10

The same place as the User Manual. Help>User Manual, or Help>Guest Installation Guide.
