Exactly.  On Debian-sid (cutting-edge thing) with some latest
2.6-yesterday-evening kernel, on a ThinkPad T43p, VMware ran like a
champ once I ran the any-any script (which modifies kernel source to let
the VMware installer do its build of special support modules, and
eliminates the need to run a VMware-supported kernel release).
