During installation all sorts of display adapters are displayed in a list. 

The vmware display driver is not present in this list, making it impossible to
correctly configure X during setup (running in vmware).

Please add the vmware display driver to the list of supported display drivers so
we can choose it during installation.

What are the PCI ID's of the VMWare display device?
You should be able to find it using lspci -v and lspci -n.


Comment 2 Jeroen Janssen 2002-12-24 10:47:07 UTC
I think this is it:

00:0f.0 Class 0300: 15ad:0405

00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMWare Inc: Unknown device 0405 (prog-if 00
[VGA])
	Flags: medium devsel
	I/O ports at 10c0 [size=16]
	Memory at fc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Memory at fb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=32K]

Is this enough information?
