OK, I've been playing some more, including going back to VMware 1.1.2. I upgraded: - kernel and linux.ko to todays 4.0-stable version; - XFree to 3.3.6; - added rtc port; With vmware 1.1.2 this still gives 99% system CPU but after switching back to VMware 2.0 I now have more normal levels of CPU usage (<5%). I have no idea where the problem has been but as far as I can see it works now. > syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468) > returns 0 (0x0) > syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540) > returns 311 (0x137) > syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0) > returns 0 (0x0) > syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff474,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff468) > returns 0 (0x0) > syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff540) > returns 311 (0x137) > syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4e8,0x0) > returns 0 (0x0) I now see this: syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff530) returns 316 (0x13c) syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff420,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff414) returns 1 (0x1) syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_ioctl(0xa,0xcb,0xbfbff530) returns 316 (0x13c) syscall gettimeofday(0xbfbff4a4,0x0) returns 0 (0x0) syscall linux_newselect(0x15,0xbfbff420,0x0,0x0,0xbfbff414) returns 1 (0x1) ioctl return code is different (316 instead of 311) and select now returns 1.
