Hello all,
This had me going for a few hours today. I am new to Linux. I installed a SLES 10SP3 guest and the VMWare tools based on the current KB. This is on ESX 4. After the tools were installed I had problems making changes to the display settings using yast, when it went to test or save it would give errors about this line or that. After playing with it for a while going back and forth with snapshots I saw that before the tools were installed the monitor chosen by the SUSE install was VESA 800x600@60hz. After the tools get installed he monitor selection gets wiped out and is blank. I think that's what was generating the errors because when I go and choose the same VESA 800x600@60hz the problem goes away. But does me saving the config through Yast screw VMWare tools up? Am I not supposed to use Yast once vmware tools was installed? I actually only went in there to configure the VNC settings, that's when I first noticed the problem. If I need to change the display do I have to go and run the vmware-config-tools.pl again? Because when I do it wipes out my VNC settings.
Thanks for your help.
