Can't get video driver out of fallback mode.

Hi,
I'm running Arch under VMWare Workstation and all seems to be going well except the video driver. Its stuck in fallback mode.
I've looked all over the forum and wiki trying to find an answer, but its not clear exactly what I have to do to fix the issue.
I've tried a couple of things so far.
- removing every video driver other than the VMWare one
- specifiying to load vmware in rc.conf as a startup daemon
- reinstalling the video driver
I think I would need to rebuild the package/kernel, but I am totally confused by how the wiki says to do that.
I have no idea what commands I need to execute to pull logs from my system. Just tell me what they are and I'll post them.
Thanks in Advance,
zeroinfiniti

Yeah, I have seen the VMware page. Everything is working in Arch, but Gnome 3 is reporting that the graphics experience is "Fallback", where as in my ubuntu install it reports "Standard". For this reason, that page is irrelevant.
I'd still like to know how to resolve the issue, for future reference. I've given up with trying to get it working in WMware and now I'm trying a dual boot of Windows 7 and Arch. I just figured that if its not going to work in a virtual machine then it has to work if Arch is running natively. I'm not interested in VirtualBox as it has no hardware acceleration support at this present time. Plus I just know VMware Workstation better.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • Can't get iphone 3 out of restore mode

    I need some advice on getting my 3g out of the restore mode.  It is stuck.  When I try to restore, it ends with an error message 1015.  I am overseas and had to get it unlocked.  Does that mean it has been jailbroken?  Is that why I am getting the error message?  I need some tips to get me it out of this mode so I can use it again.  Advice??

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • How can I get my ipad out of recovery mode without losing all of my data

    I plugged my ipad into my laptop to charge, it went into recovery mode, I cannot lose my data.  How can I save my data and get out of recovery mode?

    Unplug it from your laptop and try a reset:
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
    If it goes back into Recovery Mode then unfortunately your data is already lost.

  • Can't get iPhone 4s out of recovery mode and always get error 40 during restore

    I tried updating to ios 6.1.2 and I left it for a while since I had to do some stuff. When I came back, my iPhone is in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore using itunes. I always get error 40. I tried restoring on a different pc but it's still a no go. Is it possible that this has something to do with the hardware? I've already looked up possible solutions but my iphone's still in recovery mode. I never had this phone opened nor did I attempt to jailbreak it or anything. I tried asking my carrier for assistance but they're charging me for repairs. The fee's pretty expensive.

  • How can I get my phone out of restoration mode without losing my pictures?

    I was trying to back-up my phone on my new laptop, but it somehow disconnected itself, so it went into recovery mode. I was wondering if there was any way of either getting it out of recovery mode, or restoring it, without losing all the pictures I have on it? I did not have my icloud on for my picture roll, so that's out of the question.

    There is a safe boot on a Mac but I have never heard of anything like that on an iPad.
    If you are referring to restore mode where the iPad displays a USB connector and iTunes then the data on the iPad is already gone and you might as well connect it up to your computer and restore so that it works.

  • How can I get Measurement Studio out of Evaluation Mode in Windows XP

    I have a licensed Measurement Studio version 7.1.  for Visual Studio 6.   I have been using this no problem on a Windows 2000 computer.   I installed this on my WindowsXP computer and it installs all the VB libraries put not the C++ libraries.  I message pops up stating that I need Service Pack3 for WindowsXP.    First of all, I don't think service pack 3 for Windows XP exists yet.  Luckily, I have been able to still use all my DataSocket components.  I believe Datasockets are part of Measurement Stuidio.   I notice that CWgraph has evaluation mode on the graph and I get a popup message in VB6 stating I'm using Measurement Studio in evaluation mode.   

    Hello,
    The service pack in question is not for Windows XP.  The Measurement Studio installer required the VC++ 6 service pack 3 or higher.  I know that Microsoft has a service pack 6 for Visual C++ 6, and this is what you should install to get the C++ libraries on your machine.
    There is a tool on the CD that is in the ActiveXLicenseFixer folder that you can run to fix up the license.  If you have a valid license on the machine it will correct any licenseing issues.

       I will literally cry for the rest of my life if these pictures get deleted forever and I wont risk it.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
