It un-installed the 6.0.2 version first. This took about 5 or 10 minutes. It than installed the new.
When I first start the WS (WorkStation) it seem to hang for a long time but that could be the issue where is seems to take the portable forever to come up in Windows. Linux seems to be fine.
When I first started the first VM(virtual machine) under WS it gave me the following warning:
VMware Workstation has measured your CPU speed to be 1147 MHz, but Windows reports that it is 1596 MHz. This may mean that your computer has a power-saving feature that varies the processor speed. As a result, the clock in your virtual machine may run too fast or too slow.
For a workaround, please refer to the VMware knowledge base article at:
http://www.vmware.com/info?id=97
This article says that I need to set the correct speed in the config.ini file for VMWorkstation.
This file does not yet exist so I may have to edit the VMWS preferences to get it.
I also got the message when I started VMWS.
Your host does not have synchronized TSCs. Please read VMware Knowledge Base article 2041.
What is a TSC?
The Microsoft Windows XP product activation feature creates a key based on the virtual hardware in the virtual machine where it is installed. Changes in the virtual machine configuration may require you to reactivate the guest operating system. To minimize those changes, be sure to set the final memory size for the virtual machine and install VMware Tools before you activate Windows XP.
For more information about Windows XP product activation and virtual machines see our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/info?id=50".
Also need to upgrade the VMWare tools for the VPC.
This took a little time. I wonder how this will affect the VM working with WMWS 6.0.3?

New ATI 1150 Driver for XP Media Center
The Dell monitor at work has the wrong resolution and I cannot reset it with the ATI driver I have. Downloading and installing the newest driver from ATI.

Complain about not having .NET 2.0 installed.
The installed is a little weired. Keeps going away and coming back.
Uninstalled stream
Got a GAC security error. Follow the instructions here and uninstalled CCC (?).

Installing the Newest ATI Driver for Linux (cont.)
Following this guide.
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
Make sure the proper tools are installed.
Create the .deb package.
Looks good.
I think I need to make sure that the old fglrx is un-installed.
I was wrong, the newest drive DOES install DRI.
Disabling old fglrx driver.
Make sure that the fglrx is not blacklisted.
Remove old fglrx debs.
Install the new .debs.
/usr/sbin/atieventsd: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This may be an issue of not having libGL installed.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4487892
dpkg - l | grep -i libgl
The above command doesn't work. It is missing an action option.
I believe that I want to see if the package is present.
There is no -l option.
The space between the '-' and 'l' was the problem.
This works.
dpkg -l | grep -i libgl
Seems like Mesa is still installed.
The problem is that the permission are not correct on the file.
Trying to do the install again.
Failed again.
The privileges did not change :-(
sudo chmod 777 libGL.so.1.2
That finally changed the privileges.
Installing again.
Still failed. Looking for libGL.so.1 file.
I think that the link might be wrong.
Also the other link seems to set back to its original value.
Is it a hard or soft link?
Soft links are in blue. This is in black.
Hard links have not coller. Being root makes not difference.
Blast the link and try to make a new one or perhaps move the link.
OK, try again.
Failed again. Still looking for libGL.so.1 file.
OK, now I am point libGL.so.1 to libGL.so.1.2 file
Try again.
Looks like it work!!!!! :-)
Editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file by hand.
There is no 'ati' string. There is a 'fglrx' string.
Time to reboot.
OK

sudo rm /usr/src/fglrx-kernel*.debThere are none.
Install the new .debs.

Installing Lightweight Xserver for WOW
Trying to provide a good environment for WOW to run in.
http://stanlearnswow.blogspot.com/2008/03/tyring-to-get-seperate-light-weight-x.html
Perhaps I should do this if I can get WOW at least working under the normal server.

Installing New ATI Driver
I really need to back things up before I start.
Booting from CD and backing up \ folder.
Booting from CD and backing up \ folder.
New Linux ATI Driver
Got the new ATI driver from here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run
The number doesn't look right. It says 8-3 and the other says 8.4. However, the release data and the date in the documentation below is Mar 5, 2008.
However, readying the document here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_83_linux.html
Seems to indicate that it now supports Mesa.
Since it supports the Radeon™ Xpress 1100 series card and mine is an 1150, it is supported.
The following packages must be present to install ATI Catalyst:
Also the following packages must be present for it to install and work properly.
