Re: Fedora 11 on VMWare Workstation 6.5 hosted on Windows XP, vmblock problrm

[Olivier L. <oli...@ce...>]

I have the same problem under Mandriva 2009.1 for which I created open-vm-tools packages and dkms config
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50889

My last comment states that everything works except drag and drop.

Regards,

Olivier.
