ation
<bugzilla@FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to x11@FreeBSD.org:
Bug 223111: x11/xorg: Please include the xf86-video-vmware and the
xf86-input-vmmouse ports in x11/xorg
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D223111



--- Description ---
The xf86-video-vmware- and xf86-input-vmmouse packages / ports enable VMware
users to automatically have a functional desktop when installing the xorg
package.

The xf86-video-vmware driver is one of the hardcoded Xserver drivers that a=
re
tried at Xserver start, and it backs off if not run on a VMware platform.

Autodetection support for vmmouse+devd has just been filed as a bug. Meanwh=
ile
there should be no harm in including it in the Xorg port.

Thanks,

Thomas Hellstr=C3=B6m
