Dopo l’aggiornamento del kernel alla versione 2.6.26 potreste aver problemi con l’aggiornamento di vmware-modules. Un errore simile a questo:

Using 2.6.x kernel build system.
make -C /usr/src/linux/include/.. M=$PWD SRCROOT=$PWD/. modules

Risoluzione widescreen per VMWare

Se, come me, utilizzate vmware su un computer con schermo widescreen avrete notato come vmware vada in errore se provate ad impostare una risoluzione superiore a quella effettiva della macchina host.

Di solito restituisce un errore del genere:

“Unable to find an appropriate host video mode.
Adding the guest mode to the ‘display’ subsection of the ’screen’ section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config and restarting X is likely to help. Failed to switch to full screen SVGA mode.”

Ecco quindi come forzare vmware a lavorare alla risoluzione che vogliamo.
