Nate, your efforts are much appreciated and I'll be following them with great interest. While I still use the proprietary VMWare Tools [8.4.6 Build 385536] on my Ubuntu 11.04 guest [kernel 2.6.39-3], they seem to be quite broken on Debian Sid [kernel 2.6.39-1].

I was quite sure they would still build on the rc7 kernel for which Debian Unstable obliged me to create my own kbuild infrastructure (quite educational for a novice).

Since the Debian version, even in Unstable, is quite ancient [8.4.2-261024-1], I am becoming quite desperate.

Desperate enough to perhaps install an Ubuntu package on Debian ;-)

Cheers.
