Ubuntu clock under VMWare

[Snapshot]

Is there a fix for the racing clock in Ubuntu under VMWare? I had a quick trawl of the Linux forum but couldn't see anything.

Unfortunately VMWare tools only speed up a slow clock, not slow a fast one. For some reason I also can't get pointer integration to work, even after updating to the correct version of the tools and restarting the OS, which is irritating. Linux and I just don't seem to get on.....
