I've never tried running X in a vmware machine, but if you are able to get the binary up and running I assume you should be able to change these config options. if this does not work i'd suggest posting the interesting portions of /var/log/XFree86.0.log to the list. -pete -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group
