Yes you are. If you want to use vm-tools ("open" or "vmware"),
you have to enable kernel modules. And also some strange options
(i.e. vmware-graphics). And as I told you previously, updating
to new kernel is really pain in a**. That's why I got rid of
the whole vm-stuff and I'm happy without it...
Are you aware of "module-rebuild rebuild"?
Yes I am. Believe me or not, but this did not work.
Nice little scriplet that reduces all that pain to running one single
command after installing a new built kernel.
I mean there is a problem with new kernel version. Not sure
but I suppose open-vm-tools sources are installed into kernel
sources tree. And if you install new kernel, open-vm-tools
sources are not moved to the new kernel-sources tree.
Whenever I installed new kernel-sources and re-created link
/usr/src/linux pointing to the new sources, I had to re-emerge
open-vm-tools too...
