You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take

Effect.
You can now run Ubuntu VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/Usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an xfree86 session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart networking using the following commands:
/Etc/init. d/network stop
Rmmod pcnet32
Rmmod vmxnet
Depmod-
Modprobe vmxnet
/Etc/init. d/network start
Enjoy,
-- The VMware team
[Root @ rd01 vmware-tools-distrib] # shutdown-R now
# After the modification, restart the computer to make Ubuntu VMware Tools take effect.
After the restart, you may find that you still need to press "CTRL + ALT" to release the mouse (vm6.0 does not have this problem). Because I use 5.5.3, manual execution is required for the effect.
Run vmware-tools on the terminal:
Click Applications> attachments> terminal in the upper left corner of the Ubuntu Desktop to open a program similar to notepad in windows. Enter the following content in it ($ is self-contained and does not need to be specifically entered ): $/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox
If you are in trouble, we need to enable vmware-toolbox to run automatically upon startup. Click the Ubuntu menu: System → preference → session → startup programs. Add a startup program named "vmware-toolbox" and "command" as "/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox. In this way, UBUNTU VMware Tools can be automatically run after each boot. Restart Ubuntu to check the effect! (Note: The vmware-toolbox is not hidden in the background. Do not disable it after startup ).
Ubuntu VMware Tools is a good thing, but it also has side effects, such as: the scroll wheel of the mouse in the virtual machine is poor. To solve this problem, open the terminal and enter:
Sudo gedit/etc/X11/Xorg. conf
This command enables the system to open the/etc/X11/Xorg. conf file with the root permission. Change option "Protocol" "PS/2" in the file
Option "Protocol" "imps/2" restart ubuntu. Right-click the file or folder and select "open as administrator ".
