Thanks much to* Christoph *for pointing me in the right direction, appears to be an issue with the latest Vmware -tools, not sure I did a clean install with the opensource ones to see if they had the same issues but applying both of the fixes in the link post solves the problem with running the latest freenx and nx rpms found in the repo.
