The mode list is trimmed to resolutions supported by the host, so not all modes may appear. This feature is not available in the SnowLeopard version of VMsvga2. I can now move windows around just fine.

But performance using -svga3d is worse than without. Look here for an explanation:. Posted October 19, Screen Capture Problem This is Apple's handiwork. In OS Instead, they use an acceleration feature called a CGSSurface to grab the image. Of course, Apple doesn't care since they have IOAccelerators for all their hardware. Posted October 25, Posted October 26, The max resolution available is x Thank you. Best regards. Posted October 28, Ferris Bueller 2.

Any support for HD panels, x Posted October 30, Posted November 8, The presence of Screen Object obsoletes the "-svga3d" option.

With Screen Object, the driver will automagically select the best rendering sequence for each function. Add the following lines to your VMX file svga. Thanks Zenith, this update improves rendering even more! I got a bunch of these errors in my vmware log: Nov 08 Posted November 9, Is this completely normal? No, it's not. It's a bug, and a pretty serious one. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll fix this by tomorrow and upload a bugfix.

Removed VMsvga2 v1. Posted November 10, Nov 10 I completed the installation using the Repair option and once completed restarted the guest without issue. I then shut it down again and changed some of the options back to "Connect at power on" had changed these to ensure they were not causing any issue.

Everything appears to be good so far. I will be backing up this guest server and will test it for the next day or two to see if it is stable or not. Can you just tried "booting into Safe Mode and then try to reinstall vmtools" to see if it's works? Can't remember, found a site about installing kexts on the lib file just incase.

It works for me. I've made no change in that function. Which version of VMware Tools are you using? The ones from Fusion 2. If you're using Tools from Fusion 3. I did this initially and it causes the kind of problems you describe. What happens is that the Tools daemon loads both dylibs, there are conflicts between them, and they mess up.

You should only have one libresolutionSet. Sorry to be asking such a basic question, but can you point me to the relevant location of the. Still getting to grips with OS X at the command line. This completes the bugfixes for VMsvga2 release 1. Please believe me that not all broken apps in OS Some have issues not related to the display driver.

I installed this on my virtual machine. Although, it lags a lot, how can I fix this? Do you plan to support qemu-kvm too? It only support 2D, no 3D but I think it will not hard to make this run for qemu too since its compatible with windows drivers I'd like to thank Zenith for his efford and at the same time I'd like to ask for some guidance.

I have Snow Leopard Thanks to this driver everything works great, the screen is very responsive and I can even watch videos on Youtube. Here's my request: I've looked all over the web and can't seem to find a way to insert x as a custom resolution. It worked before installing this driver by modifying com. I've tried SwitchResX but it doesn't work in SL, as well as something called newscreen which didn't work either.

Can anyone help? It's not that big of an issue, I have set it to x and it quite ok except for two black stripes on each side. Can you maybe add this resolution to the driver? Is there something I can do maybe? If the driver is working correctly then you should see a list of resolutions in the Display preferences.

There is a list, I was asking about the x resolution which is not on it. Thanx for the reply though. Maybe you can try to make a "fake",MacOSX view capable graphic card etc Have you tried booting with the resolution specified in the boot plist? Or by entering in graphics mode bootflags? I didn't know if it was due to x being and the original driver had it set to , I will try later today, but I didn't know if it had to be coded into the driver itself.

Did not work, reverted back to the selected resolution which was x, it seems it must be coded into the driver itself. Any ideas, I have tried comparing the previous versions but the only place I find the different resolutions is in the modes.

I did a little bit more searching and believe that resolutions are indeed added in the modes. X is whatever number you wanna insert in, the current build has 21 modes so it can be inserted anywhere from 1 to The driver is an enhanced driver compared to the standard VMware offering, if you can do everthing you want with the standard driver, stick with it, or try Zenth's drivers and if it does not give you anything extra or better, then revert to the standrd driver.

I'd like to use my macosx VM for everyday use. If an application is OS X specific then fair enough, but otherwise the overhead is significant, especially graphics intensive applications.
