Search through the Internet,
one small workaround fixed the problem without downgrading libx11. 1. Get old libx11, example from etch. 2. Create directory $VMWARE/lib/libX11.so.6/ (where $VMWARE is the installation directory of vmware-server-console) 3. Copy libX11.so.6* from etch's libx11-6_1.0.3XXXXX/usr/lib/ to $VMWAR/lib/libX11.so.6/ 4. Edit $VMWARE/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh (my vmware-server-client version: 1.0.6): --- wrapper-gtk24.sh.old 2008-07-17 10:39:40.000000000 +0200 +++ wrapper-gtk24.sh 2008-07-17 10:26:35.000000000 +0200 @@ -63,6 +63,7 @@ vm_append_lib 'libfreetype.so.6' vm_append_lib 'libXft.so.2' vm_append_lib 'libXrender.so.1' + vm_append_lib 'libX11.so.6' # FontConfig is actually fairly well behaved but the fonts.conf that we # force when VMWARE_USE_SHIPPED_GTK=yes generates seemingly harmless 5. it works! |
