vmware: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed.

How can i get vmware server to work in ubuntu hardy. Is it no longer supported ? so they just wont fix it? do they want to force me to switch to KVM or something instead of using Vmware to run vista in hardy? I just dont get it.
