Hello,

I have just emerged VMware workstation 5, and am now trying to run the vmware-config.pl file they say to use. However whenever I do I get one of 2 things to happen: 1) it just sits at the command line until I Ctrl+C out of it, or 2) I some wild screen showing what appears to be a dump of some kind showing a stack in hex, mentioning something about nvidia.

I have rebuilt my kernel with the modules uploading support as i've seen some people having to do here, and I did re-emerge nvidia-glx after I re-compiled my kernel, yet still no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I use GSX but it's very similar to Workstation. In order to get mine working I had to enable the following kernel options:
Code:
Loadable module support  --->
  [*]   Module unloading (CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD)
Processor type and features  --->
  High Memory Support (4GB)  --->
Device Drivers  --->
  Character devices  --->
    <*> Enhanced Real Time Clock Support

Give those a try and see if it starts working. Either way they can't hurt. I know you have unloading but I decided to include it in there as a full list of features handy to have on for vmware.

Hope that helps. :)
