Here’s a quick tip that I kicked myself when I eventually figured out – and then felt subsequently quite thick. After installing Fedora Core 7 within a VMWare host on Windows, the screen resolution couldn’t go above 800x600. I worked with that for a while using an X windows package to interact with FC7 to get around the low resolution. Today I found out that if you change the display monitor type to be an LCD panel of a particular resolution, lo and behold you can then choose a whole bunch of screen resolutions. The performance of the latest VMWare tools and Fedora Core 7 combination is great. Its now as good as a Windows guest running VMware tools.
