If you install open-vm-tools and xf86-input-vmmouse and xf86-video-vmware drivers, you won't need to bother fighting with vmware tools anymore. The open-vm-tools port installs vmware-user-suid-wrapper binary without SUID bit, you will need to fix that. Also, vmblock driver currently crashes FreeBSD-current kernel, so you will need to remove or rename /boot/modules/vmblock.ko and /usr/local/lib/vmware-tools/modules/drivers/vmblock.ko so that vmware-user-suid-wrapper does not load it for you automatically. --=20 Alexander Kabaev --Sig_/VOhi+5/8eMnKHy0VlBQIFan Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFNn31BQ6z1jMm+XZYRAio5AKCKy5EoWIG8hdHmV4P5LVlm2LfKgQCfadyL 5EQeg2mgTmhTNQbLpPXW4c8= =YHvm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/VOhi+5/8eMnKHy0VlBQIFan--
