A question for those who are already running VMWare on Core 2: does it
complain about the keyboard layout? When I managed to run vmware on the
original kernel of FC2 , it complained about not finding the keyboard
layout (probably because it may be looking for XFree86) and then it
didnt show anything , but the VM was loaded anyway... Not very usefull
if the VM is running windows or if you need to read the boot messages of
a linux VM...

I don't recall any messages related to the keyboard, though, in my case,
I must admit that my guest VM (WinXPPro) was actually created under
VMWare 4.5.1 build 7568 under FC1.
My upgrade to FC2 was not exactly an upgrade. I installed FC2 into a
new partition and then copied over the /home partition. Re-installed
the VMWare rpm and ran vmware-config.pl - and things worked fine.
When I upgraded my FC2 kernel (427) for the first time yesterday and
tried to re-run vmware-config.pl I got the compile problems. Went to
the vmware site and downloaded the 4.5.2 (8848) rpm and went from there.
Some of the reading I have done on the VMWare message boards seem to
always point to that vmware-any-any-update##.tar.gz that seems to solve
most folks problems.
HTH,
