在VMware中安装了CentOS 5.5,可是屏幕分辨率只能设置为800X600,在网上搜了解决方法,需要安装VMware Tools,安装的过程中,遇到的问题及其解决的方法,记录如下:
一、VMware Tools在哪里?
先启动CentOS系统,进入到系统后,在VMware Workstation的主菜单,
选择VM,Install VMware Tools,在弹出的对话框中选择install
如果不先启动CentOS系统,Install VMware Tools菜单是灰色的哦。
二、如何安装VMware Tools ?
双击计算机,双击打开CD-ROM驱动器。
将VMware Tools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz拷贝到桌面。打开终端
[root@localhost ~]#cd Desktop
[root@localhost Desktop]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz
[root@localhost Desktop]#cd vmware-tools-distrib
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl (安装时如果当前用户不是管理员root的话,需要输入su获取管理员权限)
开始安装VMware Tools,一路回车往下走。
配置X windows,输入yes并回车:
Do you want to change your guest X resolution?(yes/no) [no] yes
选择显示屏幕大小,好了,重新启动!
三、遇到的3个问题
问题1:What is the location of the “gcc” program on your machine?
The answer “” is invalid. It must be the complete name of a binary file.
回车,屏幕一直打印该信息,原因是我装系统的时候没安装开发工具。
解决方法:在VMware中插入CentOS的DVD映像,在CentOS系统中点击“应用程序”,添加/删除软件,将“开发”->“开发工具”选中,应用。
问题2:What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
解决方法:升级 gcc & kernel,使用如下的两个命令
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
yum -y update kernel
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

重启系统,重新运行vmware-install.pl
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl
问题3:系统无法进入X Window
Undefined Monitor “vmware” referenced by Screen “Screen0”.
原因:The OS configuration routine could not autodetect the monitor type and wrote a xorg.conf stub with no useful monitor data. The vmware-config-tools script then got confused and mixed monitor data with driver data, ruining the whole setup.
解决方法:依次打开,系统->管理->显示,打开“显示设置”窗口。
有两个地方需要设置:
(1)点击“硬件”选项卡,点击“配置按钮”,将“显示器类型”调整为LCD Display下的相应选项;
(2)点击“设置”选项卡,选择需要设置的分辨率,点“确定”保存修改。
重启系统,大功告成!
