Running Fedora 12, having issues running VMware Player


I just loaded Fedora 12 and am having issues running VMware Player. App installed, but upon launching it, the screen simply disappears and nothing happens. Anyone else seen this and know a fix? Thanks!

Hmmm, have a look at this thread :
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1296461#1296461

otherwise :
http://communities.vmware.com/thread/214933

Worth looking at ?

Also :
http://jingfenghanmax.blogspot.com/2...s-setting.html

I would check to see if SElinux is running restrictively too.
