1. Re: Ubuntu 7.10 (and other) mouse/display: Problem and solution
Pelodark Oct 26, 2007 11:32 PM (in response to nospamboz)I am having a display problem and load failure when I start Ubuntu 7.10 and using Leopard (for the first time tonight). Prior to the Leopard upgrade Ubuntu 7.10 started up just fine. I get the following error:
The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display 0.
Any hints?

rcardona2k Oct 27, 2007 4:45 AM (in response to Pelodark)You should start a new discussion than reply to a configuration tip (or did this happen only after apply the configuration tip?)
BTW, nospamboz your tip worked great for me too! I noticed the X mismatch, but I was waiting for VMware to figure out the details. Gutsy's rendering has improved nicely. Thanks

I hope the final release of Fusion 1.1 addresses these issues.
Well, it didn't. That's... disappointing.
The patch as described works in the final Fusion 1.1 release, though.

HPReg Nov 12, 2007 8:39 PM (in response to nospamboz)Sorry guys, sounds like this one fell through the cracks
I'm forwarding it to the Guest Components team at VMware to raise the awareness of the issue.

After you've installed VMware Tools, as root you have to "chmod u+w" the
file "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl" so you can edit it. Make the following changes.
This can be better automated with diff and patch. I've attached a unified diff to make applying this change easier.
To use this patch, download it to your home folder (or somewhere convenient), do the chmod as above, and do the following:
cd /usr/bin patch < ~/vmware-config-tools.patch
This will apply all of the modifications you suggested in your post. I hope it helps!

scritch Dec 14, 2007 11:35 AM (in response to scritch)I found that if I add vmmouse.present = "FALSE" to my .vmx file, the problems come back.
Removing it makes everything work again but well I hope that VMware engineers fix also this problem.
