A question for those who are already running VMWare on Core 2: does it 
complain about the keyboard layout? When I managed to run vmware on the 
original kernel of FC2 , it complained about not finding the keyboard 
layout (probably because it may be looking for XFree86) and then it 
didnt show anything , but the VM was loaded anyway... Not very usefull 
if the VM is running windows or if you need to read the boot messages of 
a linux VM...
