            Bug ID: 223111
           Summary: x11/xorg: Please include the xf86-video-vmware and the
                    xf86-input-vmmouse ports in x11/xorg
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

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,
