Guest screen savers that demand a lot of processing power can cause the X server on the host to freeze.There’s a lot I like about Mandrake … but last time I installed it (earlier this week) … I just couldn’t understand the package management system. On a Linux host with an XFree86 3.x X server, it is best not to run a screen saver in the guest operating system. ![]() Then run the command ifup eth (where is the number of the Ethernet adapter) or restart the guest operating system. In each of the two files, add the following line: In both cases, is the number of the Ethernet adapter - for example, eth0. etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth To work around this problem, become root ( su -) and use a text editor to edit the following files in the guest operating system: When the guest operating system tries to get a DHCP address, the attempt fails and an error message says the link is down. Getting a DHCP Address in the Guest Operating System If you prefer, you may edit the X configuration file directly to make the change. To change the display resolution in the guest operating system, as root ( -su) rerun the VMware Tools configuration program and select the desired resolution from the list this program presents.
