VMware3 problems?

[phusion]

Hi, I'm having two little problems with the VMware3 port.

-The first problem is with the mouse, giving this message:
unsupported host mouse type "sysmouse"
I have the mouse set to autodetect.

-The second problem is with the cdrom drive, giving this message:
VMware Workstation was unable to read from file /dev/acd1. This can be
caused by a Linux kernel bug and will prevent your guest operating
system from properly accessing the CD-ROM drive. The kernels which are
known to exhibit this problem are 2.2.16-3 and 2.2.16-22. Please see
the http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/common/cdrom_guest.html
web page for more information on workarounds.
I have the cdrom drive set to /dev/acd1. Acd0 is my first drive, but
I'm using acd1 for vmware.

I'm wondering if the second problem has to do with me using
linux_base. I see that there is also a linux_base-8 port as well. I
have the linux_base port installed. Let me know what you think.
Thanks.
