Wierd desktop size, too small to change in the GUI
I'm running ASP Linux in VMWare 3.2.1 and when I install ASP linux, it has an incredibly small desktop, and I cant even get the Display Properties dialog box to show enough to change. I've attached a picture of how small it is, How do I make it at least 640x480 with 16 colors (VMWare's maximum with out the VMWare Tools) so I can figure out how to install the VMWare Tools?

Here's some more salt in the wound:

I ran KNOPPIX in the same virtual Machine, and it has a much bigger Desktop size. I'm actually posting in it and I'm going to try and re-install ASP from here.

It didn't work, but ASP Linux is the culprate. KNOPPIX ran at 640x480, but ASP only runs at that little screen size, and I didn't make any system changes.
