I'm using FreeBSD 4.7, what could be causing this? =46rom the README.FreeBSD that comes with VMWare: Features currently unsupported - Fullscreen text mode - Mounting vmware virtual drive - Parallel ports were never tested. However, to support bidirectional transfers, we will need a FreeBSD version of the vmppuser driver. And from the Hints.FreeBSD that comes with VMWare: - Full screen text mode does not work. Don't ever do it! - Full screen graphics mode will work, but you have to be careful e.g. when running a DOS prompt on MS Windows. Hitting Alt+Enter will crash VMware before you can say "Chuck!"
