Hello, this will fix the vmware problem, I am not sure about the nvidia drivers though, I use ati. Note VMware WS 4.5.2 is known to work on Fedora Core 3 after the following workarounds are used: o You must upgrade the kernel modules and configuration using the unofficial vmware-any-any-* toolkit available from: [5]http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/ o After vmware-config.pl is run and the VMware modules are loaded, the following command creates the /sys/class/* nodes needed for udev: cp -rp /dev/vm* /etc/udev/devices/ This note comes from the release notes at the following address ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/RELEASE-NOTES-en Hope it helps. John
