Not that this helps on VMware, but opensuse has Virtualbox, that I installed Windows XP on. Works nice BTW. What mods to XP are required to get it to run? mods=modifications ?.
None at all. I just installed it as usual. You must have hardware virtualization "vmx" in your processor?
Not for VMware. VMware provides a fully emulated hardware environment in which to install non-modified guest operating systems. There are no modifications required to VMware, Windows XP, or openSUSE 10.3 [1] in order to have Windows XP as a guest OS.
You're possibly confusing the hardware virtualisation flags with Xen and hardware assisted virtualisation for non-modified operating systems...

[1] Installing and configuring VMware will compile some kernel modules such as vmmon and vmnet that the vmware daemon will load into the running kernel of the host OS
