Hmmm ... I have VMware 2.0.3 running fine in 7.2, with sound working fine too (using a SoundBlaster Live! value) for an NT guest OS. I'm using XFree86 4.0.1 too and even my Intellimouse now works in VMware! (after I installed the silly Intellimouse driver that came with the mouse within the NT guest OS). The major problem I've had with VMware is it's ability to properly display PDF files in Acrobat reader. They show up as completely black. When I open a file in gvim, and edit it, the editing goes fine, until I do a :w command, at which point, the gvim window also becomes black. This must have something to do with XFree 4.0.1, since this behavior definitely didn't happen with XFree 3.3.x. One minor problem I've had is that the serial port within the NT guest OS only seems to communicate reliably at 9600 baud. Oh, I almost forgot, I have had a couple of programs crash VMware hard: Synopsys Design Compiler (during install), and Microchip's MPLAB (also during install).
