Or, you could try setting Win to use the native resolution of your screen - then, when you full-size it, it fills the screen and looks like you're running that OS.. :-/ However, if I run Doze @ 800x600 (for example) and full-screen it, I get black borders with Doze in the middle @ 800x600. You need to ensure that you /don't/ have the default line(s): # This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables # initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module. SubSection "extmod" #Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension EndSubSection remove or comment out the xfree86-dga line, if you do. You do get: XFree86-DGA in the output of 'xdpyinfo', right? Also, check that /usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware is installed SUID root.
