Hi, I'm having two little problems with the VMware3 port. -The first problem is with the mouse, giving this message: unsupported host mouse type "sysmouse" I have the mouse set to autodetect. -The second problem is with the cdrom drive, giving this message: VMware Workstation was unable to read from file /dev/acd1. This can be caused by a Linux kernel bug and will prevent your guest operating system from properly accessing the CD-ROM drive. The kernels which are known to exhibit this problem are 2.2.16-3 and 2.2.16-22. Please see the http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/cdrom_guest.html web page for more information on workarounds. I have the cdrom drive set to /dev/acd1. Acd0 is my first drive, but I'm using acd1 for vmware. I'm wondering if the second problem has to do with me using linux_base. I see that there is also a linux_base-8 port as well. I have the linux_base port installed. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
