Re: does new vmware workstation beta 3.2 work with (null)?

Running 3.2 beta on null seems to work fine. Just started with it
yesterday. I had to edit the module sources to change the include
of malloc.h to slab.h in order to be able to create new modules.

I tried it with windows 98 aqs guiest os. Installation and initial
startup worked fine. However when I changed the resolution from
640x480 to 800x600 or 1024x768 some strange thing happened. I do not
see any text anymore in the windows. Don't know if this is
cased by windows or vmware though. Actually I started with 
vmware 3.0 getting this problem. Upgrading to 3.1 and 3.2 did
not fix this.

I also noticed that when the guest os is running the total
CPU load on the system gets to 100%. Is this normal?
