Could you please tell me how you were able to get the two vmon and vmnet to compile and get added to kernel?

This is only thing keeping me from using Workstation 17 on Rock 5 as well. I was kind of just going to wait until the next Rock released rolled out. (pun intended)

I didn’t compile anything. I installed OpenMandriva on VMware as Fedora Linux.

Ahh you mean you are testing OM in a VMware based VM and you are having issues with the mouse in the VM. Gotcha.

If you are using Plasma, then Konsole is the terminal.
