How To: Make AutoFit work in VMWARE

This isn't my work. I found the fix on a cached page of the old forum, but since I couldn't find it here, figured I would post to help people in the future:


1. Install VMTools.
Lots of threads on this. I simply did a "apt-get open-vm-tools"

2. modify xorg.conf
2a. "kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
2b. Find the section called 'Graphics device section' and change the code to this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "VESA Framebuffer"
Boardname "vmware"
Busid "PCI:0:15:0"
Driver "vmware"
Screen 0
EndSection

3. reboot, startx, and wait a second and it should resize perfectly.

Minor note, correct usage of the apt-get command is needed

Code:

---

apt-get install open-vm-tools

Thanks, was starting to get a headache. This solved it, greatly appreciated.
