Greetings,

Just thought I would post to let people know that VMWare Workstation 4.5 runs fine on SuSE 9.1. The prebuilt modules don't load, but it builds modules and those run fine.

My setup is as follows:

Asus A&V8X-X motherboard Athlon XP 2500 1G DDR RAM nvidia FX5200 video card 120G ide drive (Maxtor I think, but don't remember Combo DVD-CD/RW drive

I am running (sorry I need it for work) XP Pro on vmware. It connects to the Windows 2003 server, and runs all apps fine.

I do get a message when starting Windows that the kernel is newere than what is officially supported, and that there may be problems, but so far there haven't been.

So far 9.1 has been completely stable under this setup. using YAST to install the nvidia video driver worked as advertised.

The Samba client under YAST actually added my machine tot he Windows domain. haven't had a chance to mount the Windows shares yet.

The only thing that doesn't work is sound. works fine on my home machine which is a different chipset for sound. Will post my sound problems in a separate message.
