VMWare Player

I wanted to figure out how to work with my tablet (Wacom Intuos 4) using virtual machine. I tried VirtualBox4, but nothing worked out (mb I'm too stupid). After that I download "VMWare Player" and installed it.

Everything but vmmon module started well. `dmesg | tail` said:
kernel: [214725.964887] vmmon: disagrees about version of symbol smp_ops
kernel: [214725.964896] vmmon: Unknown symbol smp_ops

After googled for a while, I've found that `smp_ops` is not available at debian 2.6.32 kernel ( http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/12/msg00507.html )

Finally solution was found:
wget http://files.archlinux.org.il/vmmon_fix_2.6.36.sh
chmod +x vmmon_fix_2.6.36.sh
./vmmon_fix_2.6.36.sh ( as root )

P.S. Tablet works well! I have lots of fun with it.
