It seems to stick on a random vertial or horizontal line -- as if it thinks it is at the edge of the screen. Moving the mouse about randomly fixes it. I have seen this under Win2k as well as a number of other guest OSes. I wonder if this has something to with the changes for the tablet support...

How can I use USB under the > Linux emulation? Don't you keep asking this question? I don't know what you mean by driver, but if it's a ppd file, then that's a cups printing thing, not FreeBSD. If it's a hardware driver, then that won't work on FreeBSD, since the emulation doesn't use linux kernel modules.

Could you please visit http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/freebsd-emulation@freebsd.org.html and correct the problems listed there? The individual ports with problems are devel/linux-libglade,devel/linux_devtools,graphics/linux-ungif. If you have already corrected the problems and submitted a PR, please accept my thanks and apologies for the delay in getting the fixes into the tree. This reminder is created automatically and does not (yet) have a way to know if a PR fixing the problem has been submitted. Please do *NOT* send your response to me directly; I do not necessarily have time to commit your fix; please instead submit a PR via 'send-pr' so it doesn't get lost. Problems are usually of two types: 1. The software package has been upgraded and the version in the port has been removed. The best solution to this problem is to upgrade the port to the most current version of the software package. If you are a FreeBSD committer, then you can just upgrade the port directly. If not, you should create the updated port on your own machine, test it (and maybe even run "portlint" on it), and then use "send-pr" to submit a "diff -uNr old-port updated-port". If you added or deleted any files, please make an explicit note of it. 2. The mirror site being used no longer contains the software package in question, or no longer exists. Solutions include: a) If there are other mirror sites, just remove the bad site from the list. (Make sure that what appears to be a bad site isn't actually a problem of type 1, upgrade) b) If the README or other support files in the software documentation mention where to get the software package, use one of those sites. c) Use a search engine to find another place to get the original DISTFILES. Make sure that you don't pick a FreeBSD distfiles mirror -- if you can't find any other places where the file exists, it can be a LOCAL_PORT or you can simply comment out the MASTER_SITES= line, with a comment explaining why. Once you have a solution, use "send-pr" to submit a "diff -u" of the Makefile. Note that this isn't an urgent issue, as people who try to build the port now will just fall back to the FreeBSD distfiles mirror. Please just put it on your list to do and get to it when you have time. These messages will continue to arrive twice a month until the fix is committed, as a reminder. Thanks, Bill "distfiles" Fenner.

I had it working on 6.0 for a long time, up until March of last year when the raw disk support was broken. After that I didn't really have any time to investigate and so I've just been posting here ever once in a while to see if anyone had it working. Currently I've got 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #30: Thu Mar 23 09:04:30 GMT 2006 on my machine and, vmware3-3.2.1.2242_12,1. I appear to have acpi support switched on. If I run vmware as a non-root user I get: Setting TMPDIR=3D/var/tmp. Unable to fix standard file descriptors. I'm not sure what that's about; it never used to do that when I had it running last year. If I run it as root it appears to work ok; at least I get a bios screen and it attempts to boot. So, I guess that the answer to your question is yes.
