Habe dazu im VMWare-Discussion-Forum etwas gefunden was funktioniert.
Schuld ist danach der Wechsel von XFree zu X.org bei der Suse 9.2.
Ich hänge den Auszug gleich mal an.
Achso vorher noch
- cd /usr/src/linux
- make cloneconfig
- make modules_prepare

Re: How to install VMWare-Tools in SuSE 9.2
Posted: Nov 27, 2004 6:41 AM
I have written a script for doing this on Mandrake 10.1 and Fedora Core 3 (both using Xorg). I have not tested on SuSE 9.2 but this should get the job done.
# Backup, backup, backup!
Snapshot -> Save Snapshot
VM -> Install VMWare Tools
# In the virtual machine:
cd /root
wget
http://woody.linif.org/vmconffix.sh
chmod a+x vmconffix.sh
# Will be /media/cdrom on Fedora Core 3
mount /mnt/cdrom
cd /tmp
tar xzf /mnt/cdrom/vmware-linux-tools.tar.gz
umount /mnt/cdrom
cd vmware-tools-distrib
/root/vmconffix.sh /tmp/vmware-tools-distrib/vmware-install.pl
# Done!
# To reconfigure vmware tools, run:
/root/vmconffix.sh /usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl
The script is straight forward and commented. The issue is that vmware-config-tools.pl gets the X version by first running:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -version
and it expects a response similar to:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1
Xorg instead has:
/usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
and returns:
Release Date: 18 December 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7
The config file for Xorg and Xfree86 4.3 are the same format but a different name and as such we set an enviroment variable to tell vmware what file to modify.
As always, use at your own risk and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS backup first (snapshot!). Hope this helps,
Woody
