Hi Everyone,

Linux VMware are all new to me.

When I try to install into a virutal machine I get the following error.

Please can anyone assist?

Thanks

'TrueColor at bits per pixel is not supporte.
Try adding '-cc 3' to your X Servers's command line.
Failed to initialize basic X interface vitual machine.'

Contact the VMware support. Have your registration available on phone.

Run the X server in 16bit mode and not 24bit (true color).

Please can you advise?
