Hi.. I've been using the vmware2 port for a year or so with few problems.
However, after making several changes to my machine, I'm having a problem.

When I click on poweron, everything freezes for 10 seconds or so, then
my machine reboots.. no panic with coredump - just a reboot.

About a week ago, I upgraded from XF86-3.3.6 to 4.  VMware worked
just after that, so I don't think it's related.  I've also moved
my mouse from the PS/2 port (with an adapter) to a USB port, but again
vmware worked just after that (I had to specify the mouse device and
protocol).

It seems to have started just after trying the suspend option... after
suspending and restarting vmware, it would crash.  I eventually got
vmware to power on once after that by fiddling with the configuration
files so that I didn't have to resume the saved session.  But, since
then I haven't been able to power the vm on.

I've tried deinstalling and reinstalling vmware, but that didn't help.

Any other suggestions?  I'm getting desperate to get this working again.

Thank you.

-matthew
