Silyaev" Cc: emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: VMware on FreeBSD (Full Screen) References: <199911271743.MAA01184@mindspring.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have done a little bit of experimenting in getting vmware to run in full screen mode under "X". I will go through my steps. Link "/dev/mouse" to "/dev/sysmouse", "/dev/tty0" to "/dev/ttyv0", "/dev/tty1" to "/dev/ttyv1", "/dev/tty2" to "/dev/ttyv2", "/dev/tty3" to "/dev/ttyv3", "/dev/tty4" to "/dev/ttyv4", and "/dev/tty11" to "/dev/ttyv9" this last one only applies as listed if your kernel does not support 11 virtual terminals. Now, I do not have to specify "DISPLAY=localhost${DISPLAY};export DISPLAY". However, it complains about not being able to initialize "DGA" which would be "Direct Graphics" I believe. Also it gives the following message in my text virtual terminals "linux: 'ioctl' fd=7, cmd=541c ('T',28) not implemented". I suspect that this is a step in the right direction, but I am not enough of a hacker to know for sure.. :-) I will look into "DGA" more tommorrow night. I think that I recall seeing an error like that on redhat before I replaced my X server with a special one, however, that is a long time ago. Also, I blew away my redhat installation so...
