any word on this?
I can also report the same result on W2K & WXP guests (both using drivers from 
most recent vmware-workstation release).
in windows' device manager there is a similar message about that memory 
address.

I reverted this patch, which restored a working vmware vga device
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/qemu/hw/vmware_vga.c?cvsroot=qemu&r1=1.7&r2=1.8
however, with this patch reverted I get occasional triple-faults.

Regretably, with the time available to me, I've not yet been able to get a 
deep enough grasp to do any useful debugging...but I'd be happy to test 
anything out...
