I just Opensuse 11.2 and installed it. Wouldn't you know it? Vmware Server 2.0.2 doesn't work with a 32-bit install (which mine is).
Fortunately, because Google is my friend, I discovered an install script. Instead of using the rpm, it uses the gzipped source and builds the server.
It worked faultlessly.

Since rebuilding Vmware, I've had issues with the keyboard and mouse not working properly. Typing the down arrow, for example, would bring up the Windows start menu. It was also difficult to click buttons and close windows.
After numerous attempts I found solutions here and here.
