problem running cs in vmware on linux host

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi and thanks for reading me ...

I have problem running CS in a Windows 7 guest in a VMware Linux host.

When I open the pcb editor, the central view where is supposed to show the pcb you are drawing is never refreshed.

All the other parts of the window works correctly ... only the central view is never drawn.

It happens only to me?

Michael "window" part where there should be pcb is never redrawn (and it's like transparent, I can see my windows desktop) ... I will reinstall in next minutes an take a screen shoot.
I'm suspicions the install problem I got in wine (check below post) where login popup is not drawn is a similar problem.

Are you by chance running Ubuntu with all the 3d and visual effects turned on?

X server has normal acceleration stuff as DRI2 and GLX and everything running smooth with normal application.
I think stuff like effects on Linux affect only window decorations not the application it self.
Anyway I tried to disable 3D acceleration in VMWare virtual machine but it did not worked.

Hmm. I was never a big fan of Vmware. Have you, by chance, tried Virtual Box?

Sorry I do not have Windows machine running on VBOX, anyway I was never able to boot a vmware machine on vbox or viceversa.
