--- Comment #2 from Dominique Leuenberger 2010-05-31 08:42:22 UTC ---
I got this diff in my local branch of open-vm-tools, which makes it very easy
to enable / disable modules based on the openSUSE release (assuming that newer
releases will always require less than older releases):

+- Better logic to easily disable modules that got inlcluded in the
+ Linux Kernel.

@jeff: Of course this is only true if the modules are really enabled in the
kernel, in which case I would forward this diff and the bug would be solved :)
