Videocard outside vmware is a ati x300 mobile and screen support resolution up to 1400x1050. vmware supports this too, because I had core 4 running before. If I don't enter the resolution= part, then the installer starts as normal.
Please try tomorrow and let me know if it works for you.
Works now. Would it be possible to enlarge the installation area instead of using the brownish background?
We only really have images that work at the regular resolution and the lowres version, so it'd probably look pretty weird if we made the installation area larger.
