Last night, I got VMWare 2.0 compiled on 4.1 RC (yes, I should cvsup--perhaps this weekend), and successfully installed Win2K and VMWare Tools into it. I can indeed run in SVGA mode (I ran it at 1024x768x24bpp this morning). What I can't do is talk to the underlying FreeBSD host over the network. I can ping the address defined for VMWare from FreeBSD, but not vice-versa. I suspect I've either set up natd incorrectly or something else, but I don't know what. I tried specifying "Bridge" for the ethernet device, and that didn't work, so I specified "Custom" and /dev/vmnet, which was detected when VMWare started, but still didn't work. I should note that I found that there was no /compat/linux/dev/vmnet, so I symlinked one from /dev/vmnet in order to be able to browse to it in VMWare's settings. That is obviously Not the Right Answer(tm). Anyway, there are some useful articles archived on http://lists.opensources.com/FreeBSD/freebsd-emulation/ that really got me going. One of the things I did was to make the following symlinks: /dev/ttyv0 -> /dev/tty0 /dev/ttyv1 -> /dev/tty1 /dev/ttyv2 -> /dev/tty2 /dev/ttyv3 -> /dev/tty3 /dev/ttyv4 -> /dev/tty4 /dev/ttyv8 -> /dev/tty7 <--- this is where my X server runs /dev/ttyv9 -> /dev/tty11 /dev/mouse -> /dev/sysmouse If you run your X server on a different virtual terminal than ttyv8, then you should symlink *that* terminal to /dev/tty7 instead. An error dialog pops up about /dev/sysmouse, but the mouse works anyway, so I ignored the error. I'd like to get sound working, though. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (at yourfit.com) behanna@zbzoom.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
