Ok, this did the trick. You have to download and install vmware-any-any-update98.tar.gz from http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/ which then patches the VMWare configuration script to accept my current kernel and where it has its libs and includes. And I thought we left those days behind us, when I moved away from VMWare 4.5.x towards 5.5.x ... Now, if I could only get the second screen to work again, so I can run VMWare Windoze in all its glory (that hurt).
