Hi All,

I am trying to get xnest to work, but can't seem to.  running just x works fine.

I am getting this in boot.log:

As the primary developer who uses Thinstation in VMWare extensively, I
may question your statements (you will also find at least one VMWare
employee regularly on the lists as well). Thinstation DOES work in a VM.

Does Thinstation built with a particular driver crash in VMWare, quite
possibly (eg. xf3-svga).

I am more than happy to help you identify your issue, and hopefully
resolve it. If we do find a bug, then all the better and we'll develop a
patch..... provided it is NOT in xfree v3

A few questions first.
What version of Thinstation are you using (I will assume 2.2.2 from
TSoM)?
What video drivers are you using (xorg6-vmware is the vmware video
driver)?
What nic driver are you using (pcnet32 is the standard vmware one, but
the e1000 driver will work if you have configured the vm to use one)?

That'd be virtualHW version 7 --- If the issue is reproducible and actually virtualization triggered I'd
like to know about it.

Seems like my previous exceeded the 40KB limit since I attached the build.conf file

Thanks for the response Trevor.

I was not including the xf3 drivers. I did them just now and it still crashes. Attached is my build.conf file
I am using latest sources downloaded today (2.2.2 yes). I did already include the vlance and e1000 adapter,
though my VM only has the default which is vlance. I did not change the config of this VM, so it has all WS 6.5
devices present by default. This set includes 4 8-function PCIe Root Ports, and PCIe MMCONFIG window.
This may not be the issue though, but FYI.

Let me know what else I can do.

Thanks,
Adhyas

Re: Thinstation does not work in a VM ??

OK,

it's probably not that clear, but I don't think you can include ANY of
the xf3 & xorg6 modules at the same time. I would expect them to
conflict (and I'm not sure which x-server would get run with which
drivers...).

I always use the pcnet32 nic driver with standard VM's.

Re: Thinstation does not work in a VM ??

If it failed when you ONLY had the xorg6 drivers included, when did it
fail?
At bootsplash or when it tried to initiate a session (icewm or
rdesktop)?

I also only run module apgart, which I notice is missing.
It may be needed even if you use the intel-agp driver (which maybe
should be included in the dependencies...)

Re: Thinstation does not work in a VM ??

I do not get graphics in the VM at all. I did try several combinations  
of gfx drivers and all crash. Is there a recommended config? If u use  
VM regularly can you share your config that works. I'll try to play  
more, seems like correct config may solve my issue.

Thanks,
Adhyas
