dell latitude c600 vmware linux workstation 2.0.3-799 (fully licensed) host freebsd 4.3-stable with linux emulation guest win98se, the dell native partition freebsd does not support the winmodem or the irda. i really want to use the irda to sync my palm pilot, manage my nokia 8890, transfer files to windoze friends, ... i really want to use my winmodem for winfax pro. as these devices are not supported by the host os, i can not virtualize them for the win98se guest. so how about just letting them punch through to real hardwhere? or is there a hack i am not missing? --- also, if i am running full screen, is there any key combo that is not trapped by vmware (other than ctl-alt-esc) that i can use to tell my window manager (tvtwm) to switch to a non-grabbed place on the virtual desktop? randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
