Hi! A "suggested fix"...
Would it be possible to create a post-inst script in the created vmware-{server|workstation|player} package setting the corrent value in /etc/modprobe.d/vmware ?
As those packages do depend on vmware-kernel-modules anyway, creating such a configfile sounds fine to me (but then again, I know little about packaging policies and I'm no DD ;-) ).
According to apt-cache show, vmware-package supports
* VMware Workstation 6.0 (includes VMware Player). * VMware Player 2.0. * VMware Server 1.0.
According to modinfo vmmon the correct values would be
parm: vmversion:VMware version you use: 1=VMware 2, 2=GSX 1, 3=VMware 3, 4=VMware 3.2, 5=GSX 2, 6=GSX 2.5, 7=VMware 4, 8=VMware 3.2.1, 9=GSX 2.5.1, 10=VMware 4.5, 11=VMware 4.5.2, 12=GSX 3.2, 13=VMware 5.0, 14=VMware 5.5, 15=Server 1.0, 16=VMware 6.0, 17=TOT (int)
VMware Workstation 6, VMware Player 2: options vmmon vmversion=16 VMware Server 1: options vmmon vmversion=15 for the /etc/modprobe.d/vmware file to be created by post-inst. Thank you!
