Title: Syntax for Tiny Core VM with VM TOOLS
Post by: klasikrkade on May 27, 2011, 09:50:31 AM

What is the exact syntax that I need to add to my xorg.conf file to get my VM TOOLS enabled tiny core vm to run with a specified resolution?

My current file looks like this:

Section "ServerLayout"
   Identifier     "X.org Configured"
   Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
   InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
   InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

   FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/OTF"
   FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
   FontPath     "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

EndSection

EndSection

From the open-vm-tools-x.info:

-- Resolution
The screen resolution can be specified with the xvirt bootcode
(xvirt=1024x768x24, for example) or in xorg.conf as shown:
Section "Screen"
  ...
  SubSection "Display"
    ...
    Depth 24
    Virtual 1024 768
  EndSubsection
EndSection

I underlined the line you need to add.
