Because we are dealing with 3.11 now, that you understand. The patch you suggested for
3.10 works fine but all I
could find is this Slackware patch and I wasn't certain it was applicable to
fedora-19/64 bit, apparently you are
saying it is? Good!
However I have not found how to download the patch and I'm stuck there. If you can
explain how to do that I will
install it.
i posted you the link, you only need to read and follow
https://www.google.at/search?q=vmware+workstation+kernel+3.11
http://slackblogs.blogspot.co.at/2013/09/linux-kernel-311-vmware-workstat...
there is a blue text "vmware-3.11 SlackHacks Repository" which is also a link
https://github.com/willysr/SlackHacks/tree/master/vmware/vmware-3.11
and there is a instruction:
1. cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
2. tar xvf vmblock.tar
3. cd vmblock-only
4. patch -p1 < /path/to/vmblock-3.11.patch
5. cd ..
6. tar cvf vmblock.tar vmblock-only/
7. vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
what more do you need?
and yes, it works
