Hello all,

I got vmware3 running under 5.3beta7, i also tried vmware2 now, with 
both i have the same problem:

my console typing get delayed.. so when i write fast, the console is 
slower in showing than me typing.
Next, and this is the most anoying thing, when i start mx X Server 
(Xfree or Xorg, doesn't matter) my mouse almost freeze. It "stucks" 
unusable and only moves every 2-3 sec. when i move it around.
Last thing i've noticed is, that top and even ps shows after starting 
vmware %CPU always at 0.0, whatever process or in the total.
This behavior remains, even when vmware is not anymore running at all. I 
have to reboot the mashine to get it running "normal" again.

I have tried all ways out, with no SMP, and no ACPI, linux_base or 
linuxbase-8 ,vmware2 or vmware3 and so on... everytime it is the same 
effect after i did turn on once a vmware session.

any ideas? just let me know if you need some debug messages, whatever i 
could send, just tell me how and what.

Thanks in advance!

Stephan Fiebrandt

here is my ps waux output when the mashine is in that "stall mode":
