xp系統下的虛擬機中安裝了linux後，虛擬機VMware中的linux界面太小，是由於
linux分辨率太低(通常為800×600)造成的，可以通過安裝VMware Tools來更改分
辨率到1024×768來解決這個問題，下面說明安裝VMware Tools並配置分辨率的
步驟：
1.安裝工具。讓虛擬機運行於窗口狀態，不要全屏，按Ctrl+Alt讓鼠標釋放出來。在VMware的菜單欄上選擇"虛擬機/安裝虛擬機工具(VM/Install VMware Tools...)"。然後切換到客戶操作系統，即Linux。
2.掛載光盤。
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
3.執行命令。進入虛擬光盤，可以看到有兩個文件，壹個是壓縮包，壹個為rpm包。直接運行rpm包安裝，命令行也可。rpm -Uvh VMwareTools-版本號-版本號.i386.rpm
# cd /mnt/cdrom
# ls -l
有兩上文件 ：
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm
VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
並把這兩個文件拷貝到妳的文件下 如 /tmp
#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz /tmp
#cp VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm /tmp
#cd /tmp
#rpm -ivh VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm
4.上述操作完成後，進入/usr/bin目錄，查找vmware-config-tools.pl.找到後，運行它。
5.壹路回車
6.
#tar -xzvf VMwareTools-5.5.1-19175.tar.gz
#cd vmware-tools-distrib
#./vmware-install.pl
Creating a new installer database using the tar3 format.
Installing the content of the package.
# 安裝過程的畫面，全部使用默認值，壹直按 Enter 就對了

按照Readme中的安裝方法，壹步步按照默認的設置下來，出現如下錯誤：
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]The directory
of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8.el5xen) does not match.
可以使用
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r // 查看內核版本號
查看目錄/usr/src/ 根本沒有linux這個目錄
在網上收到資料：沒有安裝 kernel-xen-devel rpm包，在安裝盤中找到這個rpm包：kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm
安裝：
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm
再使用vmware-install.pl安裝，即可自動找到配套的the directory of C header files
註重，網上還有人說需要安裝的rpm包是kernel-devel，經過測試，安裝kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm包後依然無法自動找到the
directory of C header files，假如手動改目錄為：/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-8.e15-i686/include，會出現錯誤：
The directory of kernel headers (version 2.6.18-8.el5) does not match your running kernel (version 2.6.18-8.el5xen). Even if
the module were tocompile successfully, it would not load into the running kernel.
這就是安裝的rpm不正確導致的。
安裝好kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-8.el5.i686.rpm包後，這樣就壹直enter，裝完VMware Tools
在安裝的最後階段，會出現：

到了這步，千萬別重啟看效果，還要修改xorg config設置，不然重啟後會報X-WINDOWS出錯。
進入/etc/X11/，用文本打開xorg.conf，加上以下幾段：
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "vmware"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "vmmouse"
Option "Protocol" "Auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
EndSection
然後找到 含有"ServerLayout" 的section, 在Section跟EndSection之間加上以下壹行。
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
終於大功告成，重啟看看效果了
重啟之後，resolution不知道為何並沒有變化，有待進壹步研究，但是Mouse移進移出VMware可以不用再使用Ctrl+Alt鍵了
