Thanks very much for the tip; I actually had someone clue me in earlier, using a symlink, but essentially doing the same thing. I thought I had tried that previously but apparently I had not. The thing that confused me is that the config editor in vmware doesn't allow you to go to /dev when browsing, it puts you into /compat/linux/dev.... I had not thought of editing the file manually like that. But the symlink is cool in case I run into this with any other apps. Thanks again.
