VMware on FC4 @ 1024x768 fullscreen

[Daniel Orzechowski]

I'm running WinXP inside of VMware 5 on a FC4 host.  Everything seems to 
work fine (networking, shared files, etc.) except for when I run in 
fullscreen mode at 1024x768.  It appears that for some strange reason my 
screen is being de-interlaced somehow.  It's hard to describe, but every 
other row of pixels is a copy of the row above it, only slightly 
darkened.  Taking a screenshot of the Windows environment shows a proper 
desktop so Windows thinks it's drawing the right thing, but somewhere along 
the line things mess up and I can't figure out why.

Outside of VMware, 10x7 works fine for FC4.  VMware at 10x7 in windowed 
mode works properly, as does fullscreen mode in any other resolution, but 
at 10x7 fullscreen I get this messed-up display.  I can't simply run XP at 
a different resolution, since one of the games I use it for automatically 
sets the resolution to 10x7 with no option to change it.

I've already posted in the VMware forums but didn't get any useful 
information.  Anyone here have any ideas?

thanks in advance

Dan
