Ubuntu Live/Install CD With Vmware - Display Server Problem

Here's a small tip for those having problems booting Ubuntu with VMware. Try booting Ubuntu in Safe Graphics Mode. If you're getting an error message saying that the display server has been shut down 6 times and that it will try again after 2 minutes, stop the virtual machine. Then open the settings for the virtual machine and select the Display option from the list. Then click 'Specify monitor settings' on the right and specify 'Number of monitors' as 1 and the 'Maximum resolution of any one monitor' to '1024 x 768'. Click 'Ok' and now try booting again.

If your problem is solved, please leave your comments.
