VMWare Workstation 6.5 Beta is currently
locked! If you get it, then download the
vmware-any-any-update116 patch. Then, open
your favorite terminal and enter the
following commands:
tar -xvzf
VMware-workstation-e.x.p-84113.x86_64.tar.gz
tar -xvzf vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz
cd vmware-any-any-update116
rm vmmon.tar
cp
../vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmmon.ta
r ./
sudo ../vmware-install.pl
Do not run vmware-config.pl when asked to.
sudo ./runme.pl
Now run vmware-config.pl when asked.
cd /usr/lib/vmware/bin
cp vmware-vmx-debug vmware-vmx-debug-old
sudo cp -a vmware-vmx vmware-vmx-debug
You will have a VMCI Socket error, it's fine.
Now set up the Virtual Machine. Hard Drive
Space: 15GB+, RAM: 1024MB+, Video RAM: 128MB.
Uncheck 3D Acceleration. Install Windows XP.
Once Windows is installed, install the VMWare
Tools and shutdown the virtual machine. Now
enable 3D acceleration, then power the
virtual machine on again and install DirextX
9.0c. Now run dxdiag. Test out directdraw and
direct3D. If everything looks good, then
start installing FFXI! Without AGP Texture
Acceleration POL's Menus will bog
performance. After FFXI is installed and
patched, do not start FFXI. Restart your
actual computer, then start VMWare. Before
you start FFXI, go to the FFXI Settings and
set everything as low as possible.
