I installed Knoppix from CD (c't-Edition 04/2003) with knx-hdinstall 0.37. Everything seems to be right when I boot from harddisk, and after login I get to KDE. But when I boot this same installation from within VMware 3.2, I get a text login. The XServer does not start, because the graphics device is not recognized (in fact, it is a nVidia NV17).

I read about a XServer issue with VMware (vmware_drv.o wrong version with knoppix). But I cannot find any vmware_drv.o on my harddisk.
There is another interesting thing: when I start knoppix with VMware from ISO image, everything is running fine again (but in ram disk now).

Is there anyone who knows how to overcome this XServer issue with my hd installation?
