在VMware中安裝了CentOS 5.5，可是屏幕分辨率只能設置為800X600，在網上搜了解決方法，需要安裝VMware Tools，安裝的過程中，遇到的問題及其解決的方法，記錄如下：
一、VMware Tools在哪裡？
先啟動CentOS系統，進入到系統後，在VMware Workstation的主菜單，
選擇VM，Install VMware Tools，在彈出的對話框中選擇install
如果不先啟動CentOS系統，Install VMware Tools菜單是灰色的哦。
二、如何安裝VMware Tools ?
雙擊計算機，雙擊打開CD-ROM驅動器。
將VMware Tools-5.5.3-34685.tar.gz拷貝到桌面。打開終端
[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 （安裝時如果當前用戶不是管理員root的話，需要輸入su獲取管理員權限）
開始安裝VMware Tools，一路回車往下走。
配置X windows，輸入yes並回車：
Do you want to change your guest X resolution?(yes/no) [no] yes
選擇顯示屏幕大小，好了，重新啟動！
三、遇到的3個問題
問題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.
回車，屏幕一直打印該信息，原因是我裝系統的時候沒安裝開發工具。
解決方法：在VMware中插入CentOS的DVD映像，在CentOS系統中點擊“應用程序”，添加/刪除軟件，將“開發”->“開發工具”選中，應用。
問題2：What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
解決方法：升級 gcc & kernel，使用如下的兩個命令
yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
yum -y update kernel
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]# yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel

完成更新！
重啟系統，重新運行vmware-install.pl
[root@localhost vmware-tools-distrib]#./vmware-install.pl
問題3：系統無法進入X Window
Undefined 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.
解決方法：依次打開，系統->管理->顯示，打開“顯示設置”窗口。
有兩個地方需要設置：
（1）點擊“硬件”選項卡，點擊“配置按鈕”，將“顯示器類型”調整為LCD Display下的相應選項；
（2）點擊“設置”選項卡，選擇需要設置的分辨率，點“確定”保存修改。
重啟系統，大功告成！
