在VMware中安装了CentOS 5.5，可是屏幕分辨率只能设置为800X600，在网上搜了解决方法，需要安装VMware Tools，安装的过程中，遇到的问题及其解决的方法，记录如下：
一、VMware Tools在哪里？先启动CentOS系统，进入到系统后，在VMware Workstation的主菜单，选择VM，Install VMware Tools，在弹出的对话框中选择install如果不先启动CentOS系统，Install VMware Tools菜单是灰色的哦。
二、如何安装VMware Tools ?双击计算机，双击打开CD-ROM驱动器。将VMware Tools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz拷贝到桌面。打开终端[root@localhost ~]#cd Desktop[root@localhost Desktop]# tar zxvf VMwareTools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz[root@localhost Desktop]#cd vmware-tools-distrib[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl （安装时如果当前用户不是管理员root的话，，需要输入su获取管理员权限）开始安装VMware Tools，一路回车往下走。配置X windows，输入yes并回车：Do you want to change your guest X resolution?(yes/no) [no] yes选择显示屏幕大小，好了，重新启动！
三、遇到的3个问题问题1：What is the location of the “gcc” program on your machine? The answer “” is invalid. It must be the complete name of a binary file.回车，屏幕一直打印该信息，原因是我装系统的时候没安装开发工具。解决方法：在VMware中插入CentOS的DVD映像，在CentOS系统中点击“应用程序”，添加/删除软件，将“开发”->“开发工具”选中，应用。问题2：What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]解决方法：升级 gcc & kernel，使用如下的两个命令yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-develyum -y update kernel

问题3：系统无法进入X WindowUndefined Monitor “vmware” referenced by Screen “Screen0”.原因:The OS configuration routine could not autodetect the monitor type and wrote a xorg.conf stub with no useful monitor data. The vmware-config-tools script then got confused and mixed monitor data with driver data, ruining the whole setup.解决方法：依次打开，系统->管理->显示，打开“显示设置”窗口。有两个地方需要设置：（1）点击“硬件”选项卡，点击“配置按钮”，将“显示器类型”调整为LCD Display下的相应选项；（2）点击“设置”选项卡，选择需要设置的分辨率，点“确定”保存修改。重启系统，大功告成！
