Slackware/KDE on Vmware workstation 7/8

Hello, everyone!

This is an small tip to resolve the problem that crash KDE when you type the command: startx under Vmware workstation Virtual Machine.

After hours reading about that, I've learn: "Composite do not working under Vmware enviroment, but.. problem is composite is by default enabled".

To resolve, you need create an xorg.conf file and to end, add this lines to disabled composite feature.

Code:


Section "Extensions"
   Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection


For this, you can run this command: xorgsetup to generate an initial xorg.conf file, an after that.. you can edit it

Code:

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

To the end of the file add the code lines for disable "composite", restart X server and you shall do not have problem to load KDE desktop..


Saludos!
