Hey guys, I've installed 32-bit arch in vmware Workstation 8 using the following guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _in_VMware
The VM itself is running 2GB with 1 processor with 2 cores and 3D acceleration enabled. I've installed the open-vm-tools, added it to the DAEMONS array, etc. Everything is working beautifully except for 1 issue.
The redraw rate is just not up to par. When I drag a console around, I'm seeing tearing along the sides of the window where the redraw is just not fast enough.
The following is an excerpt from my X log
[ 20.873] (==) Matched vmware as autoconfigured driver 0
[ 20.873] (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 1
[ 20.873] (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 2
[ 20.873] (==) Assigned the driver to the xf86ConfigLayout
[ 20.873] (II) LoadModule: "vmware"
[ 20.874] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so
[ 20.885] (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 20.885] compiled for 1.10.0, module version = 11.0.3
[ 20.885] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 20.885] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0
As you can see, the vmware driver is getting loaded.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I can install ubuntu via the easy install, same VM setup, with compositing on, and it works great, so I know it's something with how I've set things up rather than a technical limitation.
edit: I should also mention, I'm currently running xfce4.
