There are one or two special drivers that have to be configured in the
Kernel for VMWare and for VirtualBox. They may or may not be the same
for each app.
VMWare will not show your guest OS the actual hardware that your
system is using. You need to know what hardware VMWare is showing your
guest OS and configure the kernel for the guest OS accordingly.
