Linux 2.6 and VMware

Linux 2.6 is almost here; there are still some issues with VMware and Nvidia drivers, but these wil be fixed soon (I'll guess VMware will release their part after the official 2.6 announce). In the meantime, follow this procedure for VMware :



VMWare works fine in 2.6, given that you install the updates at http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/. Just get vmware-any-any-update45.tar.gz and run the install script. Then re-run vmware-config.pl. Make sure that your 2.6 kernel doesn't have preempting enabled (this can cause some crashes) and you're all set.
