Olivier,

   I have no XShape in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I did comment out the three lines
that disable use of the DGA extension because VMware will not use
full-screen mode without the DGA extension. Unfortunately, commenting out
the section (which supposedly permits loading the DGA extention) had no
effect on VMware. Here's the section:

Section "Module"

# This loads the DBE extension module.

     Load        "dbe"   # Double buffer extension

# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
#    SubSection  "extmod" 
#      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"   # don't initialise the DGA extension 
#    EndSubSection

# This loads the font modules
     Load        "type1"
     Load        "freetype"
     Load        "speedo"

# This loads the GLX module
     Load       "glx"

EndSection

   X.org-6.7 running here. Have you any thoughts on how I can get the
XFree86-DGA extensions running so VMware will go into full-screen mode, and
my Xfce windows will behave as before?

Thanks,

Rich
