As vmware3 is out, vmware2 is probably not in development anymore by them so bugging them about it doesnt make sense anymore (probably). Are you working or are you planning to work on the vmware3 port. I have made a patch for the vmware3 linux module that does the same thing as your vmware2 changes and the module now compiles and loads cleanly. I do have problems running the binary however. I havent worked on this lately due to time restrictions but I would really like to run -CURRENT in vmware :-) Mark -- Mark Santcroos RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.ripe.net/home/mark/ New Projects Group/TTM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
