Hi Capricorny,
The "VMware Workstation June Preview" tools are working just fine (as 8.0.4 breaks), cf:
http://communities.vmware.com/commun...kstationtp2012
It is quite typical for the brand new kernels to break something with the VmWare tools
and it usually takes a couple of weeks for VmWare or other users to publish a patch in the forums.
I will post my knx 7.0.3 vm guest (with the tools installed) very soon... (I am almost done)
Cheers,
Gilles

Yes, it's perfectly possible that Workstation 8.0.3 broke with 3.4.X for a good reason - but it will be for the first time! The breaking of 7.X with kernel 2.39 was because VMware stubbornly stuck to long deprecated switches, kind of built-in killer gene in the code. And VMware didn't care to release a 7.X patch with a solution any interested user could find on the net, rather forcing users to upgrade. The troubles I had with 8.X were well-known, with rather old patches floating aorund. VMware could have fixed it just by picking up one of those patches, like I did myself. But - it MAY be the kernel this time!
And I think we can agree that it works pretty darn well, when it works. Forced version upgrading can be a blessing, too. (Among the involuntarily blessed
)
I'm using qemu more and more, though. No adaptation whatsoever necessary for running Knoppix there,
