VMware 1.1.1 for Linux- 10/18/99 - ~3 MB
NOTE: VMware 1.1.1 is available as both a
traditional gzip'd tar archive (".tar.gz") install as
well as a new RPM installation package. Support for the RPM
installation is experimental at this time. Installation
instructions for the RPM package are available.
- VMware 1.1.1 for Linux (both
compressed tar and RPM packages) will install the product in
/usr/bin by default. Previous packages were installed in
/usr/local/bin by default.
- You should only install the Vmware-mount.pl
add-on on top of existing VMware for Linux installations of
versions earlier than 1.0.8. The features contained in the add-on
are already included by default in versions 1.08 and later of
VMware for Linux.
NOTE: If you are using any previously
released version of VMware for Linux (including 1.0, 1.0.2,
1.0.3 or 1.1), please upgrade to 1.1.1.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ if
upgrading from Released version 1.0.x -- New change regarding
VMware for Linux
The PCI vendor ID for the VMware virtual display adapter has
changed in this release.
When users of previously released versions (1.0.x) upgrade to the
1.1.1 release, the PCI vendor ID change will affect how Plug and
Play aware guest operating systems will behave the first time they
boot. The instructions below explain how to configure the guest
operating system to properly match a driver to the new vendor ID.
When Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 detect the ID change,
they will prompt you to install a driver for the new virtual
PCI/Plug and Play device:
- Click the Cancel button to allow the operating system to
boot completely.
- Double click on the Add/Remove Programs icon from the
Control Panel.
- Remove the VMware Tools for Windows software package.
- Re-install the same VMware Tools for Windows package
originally installed or download the latest VMware Tools from here.
Once the VMware SVGA display driver included in the VMware Tools
package is installed you will have to reboot the virtual
machine. The next time the virtual machine boots, the operating
system will sense the previously detected vendor ID and not prompt
for a new driver.
