[ale] VMWare General Question

[scherrey at gte.net (Benjamin Scherrey)]

Did you download the windows extra programs (vmware-tools.exe) for
vmware? Copy them into your virtual windows session and run it. It will
install an improved display device that gives me 256 colors. Since that's
as high as my X goes right now I can't tell you if it does better or not.
Also, it transmits the windows display much faster (probably pixelizes
kinda like mpeg) as well. I'm running NT4 in mine so YMMV.

    Good luck & later,
