Best would be to verify what you have installed. openSUSE (I think starting with 11.1) ships open-vm-tools, which also contains a set of kernel module (vmware-*kmp*.rpm). Those are intended for VMWARE GUEST only (that's why in 11.2 they have been renamed to reflect this change). They should never be installed (and certainly not by default) on any non-vmwareg uest machine (the kmp is pulled in by hardware identifiers).
Q1: is this from an opensource VMware?
Q2: is this the VMware server?
Q3: how does is compare with the commercial VMware Workstation?
i'd say that's impossible to answer with thie information you provided (try rpm -qf <path to a module> to see which package put it there if any.) but out of this list, only the open source vmware-tools are an option. the tools are the same as used in the latest versions of vmware server/workstation/player (they are actually not too different from each other, except always some month difference in development). open-vm-tools is the common denominator, typically at the latest stage. (It's more or less developped internally by vmware, but synched to a public git once a month).
