[SOLVED] CUDA drivers and vmware

I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but is it possible to get CUDA working through vmware?  Arch Linux is the guest and Windows 7 is the host.

The reason I ask is that while nvcc seems from a cursory attempt to work, "cabal install cuda" says it can't find the driver. Which makes sense, since I'm using a passthrough driver. I can't find any documentation of this being supported, but hopefully it's still possible.

Looks like I need a pro card, or need to solder some transistors onto my GT640. Maybe I'll just install a non-virtualized arch linux in that case.
