I use vmware workstation 6.5 for linux and have not noticed the problem you mention below. I'm guessing you made sure the latest version of vmware tools has been installed in the virtual machine, right? One thing though, I was running server2 for linux and jaws 9 didn't work. It couldn't install the video intercept manager so the jaws cursor didn't work. I upgraded to vmware workstation and jaws 10 and then it worked. But I didn't know if it was the upgrade to workstation or jaws 10 that fixed the problem. But I am guessing you're already using jaws 10. So I don't have any advice to help you unless you're not running jaws 10 or if you have not updated vmware tools on the vm (which you probably have already done). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave" <dave.mehler@gmail.com> To: "'Blind sysadmins list'" <blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 8:00 AM Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Vmware workstation 6.5
Hello, Is anyone using vmware workstation 6.5 with jfw? I was running vmware server on an xp pro machine with vm's inside that, and jfw scripts on the host, now i'm having to switch to workstation 6.5. My first question is are any scripts or other configuration files needed for workstation? Second issue, when i installed a vm on first boot of the vm after the operating system was installed workstation went right in to the vm, i didn't have to hit control g or anything. This was not wanted and getting out with control+alt didn't work, mouse moving trial and error finally got me out. I do have additional questions about specific vm's, but they can wait until i can sort out the basics, any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.
