The vmware tools (VmwareTools-6.5.0-118166) installation went surprisingly fast (including the kernel modules compilation using vmware-config-tools.pl script) on the fedora 10 kernel version 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 except two issues:
During the X server configuration, I received an error which indicate that the vmware tools cannot locate the monitor, its seems like vmware looking for Xorg instead of Xfree86.
In order to bypass this issue we should create the following /etc/X11/xorg.conf (as root):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "vmware"
EndSection
And re-run the config tool.
The second problem was the “drug-and-drop”, IT DIDN'T WORK !!!, to fix it call /usr/bin/vmware-user as written in “http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Understanding_and_Installing_VMware_Tools:
"You will need to either manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user or log out and log
back in to this desktop session to obtain the following features: guest
resolution fit, drag and drop, and file and text copy/paste. vmware-user is
configured to automatically start at a graphical login, but that won't take
effect until the next login."
If needed, Call the vmware-user every login using the application start-up list.
