	Too bleeding edge for me. I still need to find kernel modules to make vmware 
work with 2.6.30 (I use 2.6.29.3). When I have more time I am going to move to 
virtualbox, but for now I need vmware at work. Next year I will try 
radeon+dri2, I have more things to fix here until there hehe. Thank you all 
for the help.
