This not only installs a special VMWare driver for X.org (and automatically sets up xorg.conf) which allows you to set the resolution and lets the mouse leave the VM window without pressing Ctrl-Apple keys each time, this also installs the VMWare tools applet that can be used to reduce the VM disk image from time to time. For infos about how to install the tools, have a look at the VMWare Fusion Help. Best regards Stephan
