在VMware Workstation6.52安装Redhat Enterprise Linux5后无法调整屏幕的分辨率

xp系统下的虚拟机中安装了linux后，虚拟机VMware中的linux界面太小，是由于 

linux分辨率太低(通常为800×600)造成的，可以通过安装VMware Tools来更改分 
辨率到1024×768来解决这个问题，下面说明安装VMware Tools并配置分辨率的 
步骤： 

1.安装工具。让虚拟机运行于窗口状态，不要全屏，按Ctrl+Alt让鼠标释放出来。在VMware的菜单栏上选择"虚拟机/安装虚拟机工具(VM/Install VMware Tools...)"。然后切换到客户操作系统，即Linux。 
2.挂载光盘。 
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom 
3.执行命令。进入虚拟光盘，可以看到有两个文件，一个是压缩包，一个为rpm包。直接运行rpm包安装，命令行也可。rpm -Uvh VMwareTools-版本号-版本号.i386.rpm 
# cd /mnt/cdrom 
# ls -l 
有两上文件 ： 
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm 
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz 
并把这两个文件拷贝到你的文件下 如 /tmp 
#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp 
#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm /tmp 
#cd /tmp 
#rpm -ivh VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm 

4.上述操作完成后，进入/usr/bin目录，查找vmware-config-tools.pl.找到后，运行它。 
5.一路回车 
6. 
#tar -xzvf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz 
#cd vmware-tools-distrib 
#./vmware-install.pl 

Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format. 

Installing the content of the package. 

# 安装过程的画面，全部使用默认值，一直按 Enter 就对了

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take 
effect. 

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command: 
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an XFree86 session. 

To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands: 
/etc/init.d/network stop 
rmmod pcnet32 
rmmod vmxnet 
depmod -a 
modprobe vmxnet 
/etc/init.d/network start 

Enjoy,

在/etc 目录下找到inittab文件VI 它，找到id:5:initdefault:改成id:3:initdefault: 这里5代表图形界面 3代表命令行的界面 


按照Readme中的安装方法，一步步按照默认的设置下来，出现如下错误： 
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]The directory 

of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8.el5xen) does not match. 

可以使用 
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r // 查看内核版本号 

查看目录/usr/src/ 根本没有linux这个目录 

在网上收到资料：没有安装 kernel-xen-devel rpm包，在安装盘中找到这个rpm包：kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm 
安装： 
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm 

再使用vmware-install.pl安装，即可自动找到配套的the directory of C header files 

注重，网上还有人说需要安装的rpm包是kernel-devel，经过测试，安装kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm包后依然无法自动找到the 

directory of C header files，假如手动改目录为：/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.e15-i686/include，会出现错误： 
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8.el5) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18-8.el5xen). Even if 

the module were tocompile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel. 

这就是安装的rpm不正确导致的。 

安装好kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm包后，这样就一直enter，装完VMware Tools 

在安装的最后阶段，会出现： 
Do you want to change your guest X resolution? (yes/no) [no] y

到了这步，千万别重启看效果，还要修改xorg config设置，不然重启后会报X-WINDOWS出错。 

进入/etc/X11/，用文本打开xorg.conf，加上以下几段： 

Section "Monitor" 

  Identifier "vmware" 

EndSection 

Section "InputDevice" 

  Identifier "Mouse0" 

  Driver "vmmouse" 

  Option "Protocol" "Auto" 

  Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" 

EndSection 

然后找到 含有"ServerLayout" 的section, 在Section跟EndSection之间加上以下一行。 

InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" 

终于大功告成，重启看看效果了 

重启之后，resolution不知道为何并没有变化，有待进一步研究，但是Mouse移进移出VMware可以不用再使用Ctrl+Alt键了
