AFAIK all attempts to run Amithlon on vmware have failed, because while vmware uses your real CPU, it emulates much of the rest of the hardware. In this case, the problem seems to be the emulated graphics driver, which is not VESA 2.0 compatible.

(It may be that the latest version of vmware may have fixed this, but I haven't seen any reports of it being used successfully)


Not true, AROS x86 native requires VESA 2.0 minimum for 24bit gfx and runs fine in VMware. Many of use use VMware to develop for AROS.
