I tried again with the x86_64 centos5 as both host and guest and have
exactly the same problems. At startup it complained about
/usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0 which I fixed by symlinking to the
system (32-bit) version. Then running /vmware-config-tools.pl in the
guest fails to add a 'Monitor' section to xorg.conf, which I add by
hand. Then an x session has vmware-guestd and vmware-user running but
it won't release the mouse automatically unless I run vmware-toolbox
inside the X session too. Should I install the any-any patches?
