OK, I got it solved.
Just for anyone else that would want to get it running, this is how I did it (thanks to the help of some nice people on the Mandrakeclub, so it is usefull to me).
Mind you, I'm not at all an expert in these kind of stuff, so there might be a much better way, but this worked for me.
1. I installed Mandrake specifying that it should not launch x on booting (otherwise it tries and VMWare shows the 4 screens and you cannot read what you are doing).
2. I logged in as root.
3. I ran the xf86cfg command to start xconfig. It is a little bit searching how the interface works, but it was possible to change the adapter to vesa vesa as Joerg suggested on the Mandrakeclub forum.
4. I ran the startx command to get into KDE. That did work (took a while), but the resolution was not OK (the desktop did not fit on the screen). However, using the scrollbars that were present in VMWare I could get to the menu button which allowed me to launch the Mandrake Control Centre (MCC). This allowed me to change the screen resolution to 1024x768 (it was set to 800x600, which was the cause of the problem).
5. I logged of as root. Could not startx as normal user, but I could after rebooting.
6. After the rebooting I logged in as normal user and did startx again. This time I got into KDE as normal user with the good resolution. After that I used to MCC to enable autologin of that user and to indicate it should start X by default.
And now I can start testing.
I have just one question remaining. Is this caused by a bug in Mandrake (then I would file a bug report) or is this due to VMWare not supporting Xorg yet or something (then a bug report makes no sense)?
Ciao,

大致意思就是：
以root登录，启动 xf86cfg，屏幕将变得非常大，在显示卡的设置里面选择 vesa vesa，这个是 Joerg 在Mandrakeclub forum上推荐的
然后就可以运行 startx ，在设置中心里面更改分辨率，屏幕即可变回正常大小。
希望有点用。 |
