# install_vmconffix.sh
# Version 1.0.1
# Installs vmconffix.sh by Gatewood Green <woody@linif.org>,
# which allows vmware-config-tools.pl to run on systems with Xorg installed,
# It creates vmware-config-tools-xorg which should be run
# instead of original vmware-config-tools.pl
#
# Should be installed after vmware tools installed, but before
# vmware-config-tools.pl first time executed
# (you have to reject run vmware-config-tools.pl right from 
# vmware tools install script).
