VMware Tools on openSUSE

It seems that after installing VMware tools on openSUSE, you will need to run the config manually (unlike CentOS).

cd /usr/bin
localhost:/usr/bin # ./vmware-config-tools.pl

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.1.3 build-203739 for Linux for this running
kernel completed successfully.

You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.

You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.

To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.

Enjoy,
