Hi gareth, putting your mail subject and your mail body together i hope your question is: I want to run vmware workstation 4. on suse 9 x86_64 ? So the answer is: - vmware workstation 4.0.x doesn't run on x86_64 - but vmware workstation 4.5.x does (inoffical support for x86_64). - I had no problems with all of the last kernels that comes with the you-updates - at the moment i use 2.4.21-209-default - according to the postings there are still some problems see: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=1310 detlef oertel gareths.rees wrote:

Thanks, your assumptions are right - I want to run workstation 4.5.x on Suse9 x86_64. I have installed the rpm on a 2.4.21-193-default - do I just run the vmware-config-pl as normal?

yes

Best regards
