No X Display with IBM T30 laptop

[Thomas Beckett]

It seems that vmware cant use udev yet which ubuntu (and most upcoming
distros) use. until it is patched see the VMWare wiki for a quick fix

Also - this might help - 
http://www.omegatower.com/library/ubuntu-warty-on-vmware.htm

both found by a search of the ubuntu site

Hope it helps
Tom

Three or four times screen flickers (goes on and off) probably trying to come up with different resolutions and finally fails and leaves me with usual text login prompt.
