I just installed CentOS 5.2 for x86_64 under VMware Fusion 2.0.2. Most things worked without tweaking, but the mouse cursor was always offset from the host system mouse, even when VMware was running full-screen.
This post took care of the problem. If I'm reading correctly, the problem was in X11 configuration, and the fix was to use the vmmouse driver with the "CorePointer" option.
Thanks, Bradley Sepos!
I keep forgetting about this...
I'd like to do development on an ASP.NET web application which resides in a VMware Fusion shared folder. Unfortunately, as noted in the Microsoft Forums, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition (at least) does not support hosting on a UNC share.
So, AFAICT, the only option is to do development in a local folder. To access that folder from the host operating system, it needs to be shared from the Windows VM.
I recently installed a 64-bit OpenSUSE 10.3 virtual machine under VMware Fusion. Everything worked fine except cut&paste -- the vmware-user executable was not launching when X11 started.
ldd showed a dependency on libexpat.so.0, in addition to libexpat.so.1. I installed that using yast, rebooted, and -- huzzah -- cut&paste now works.
More details are available in the VMware Fusion discussions forum.
