Thank you - it is good to get a confirmation that vmware3 runs on FreeBSD 6.2 properly. Now, your point about resolutions is well taken - but does that matter if I am running in a window only ? I have no desire to run vmware full-screen. Right now I run it in a 960x600 window. Do you still think I need to degrade my X screen to 1280x1024 (or something) if I am only running vmware in a window ? Thanks. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo!
