You have it running?! I'm still struggling to get a vmmon module, without
which vmware spits out this indefinitely:

VMware Workstation Error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

Press "Enter" to continue...

I've tried grabbing the sources for the 2.x vmware modules but a lot
of patches fail...
