Windows 7 WDDM Driver

Had an issues with a Win 7 guest where it would suddenly freeze with no activity.  Only option was to power off the guest.  After some investigation, it seemed to be related to entries in the log:

 

GuestRpcSendTimedOut: message to toolbox-dnd timed out

 

and

 

GuestRpc: app toolbox-dnd's second ping timeout; assuming app is down

 

Eventually, I discovered a repeatable set of steps that would cause the problems and then I eventually narrowed it down to the SVGA driver from VMWare tools.  If I revert to the standard Windows 7 SVGA driver, it works fine.

 

I understand there is a WDDM video driver for Windows 7/Vista for VMWare Workstation.  Does anyone know if I can use this driver under VMWare Server 2 and if so, where I can get it?

 

Thanks
