Levels of Detail

Works mostly by the book. The only quirk is that it appears the installer thinks it has XFree86 3.x, and changes the symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X to the XF86_Vmware server. One needs to make it point back to the xorg server by doing:

% cd /usr/X11R6/bin
% rm X
% ln -s Xorg X

And then to get gdm going again

% /usr/sbin/gdm-restart

And it should be good to go. Thank god they got rid of that 4G/4G patch as of kernel 720. Seems a bit slow but much better than before. I’m sure running multiple VMs on my 1.8ghz box is killing it a bit as well.
