I haven't tried on 5.2 Release yet. The only thing that never worked was the full screen mode using either "nvidia" or "nv" driver. You can find some tips for installing VMWARE under FreeBSD at : http://www.packetwatch.net/documents/papers/vmware2.txt Here is what I did (comes from the link above and other sources... sorry for the lack of copyright notice) : Install Linux-base first (should be installed) # cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base # make install && make clean add to /etc/fstab linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 add to etc/sysctl.conf kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 add to /etc/rc.conf gateway_enable="YES" firewall_enable="YES" firewall_type="OPEN" natd_enable="YES" natd_interface="vr0" #physical ethernet card... put your own natd_flags="" Now, we will set the firewall rules. Before we set the firewall rules make a backup of the /etc/rc.firewall file. Clear everything from the rc.firewall file. Add the following to the file: fwcmd="/sbin/ipfw" ${fwcmd} -f flush ${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to any via vr0 <----- again replace vr0 with your physical interface ${fwcmd} add pass all from any to any edit Kernel config file options IPFIREWALL options IPDIVERT options VFS_AIO # ----> you can also use aio_load="YES" in loader.conf options SYSVSHM # should already be there options SYSVMSG # should already be there options SYSVSEM # should already be there Recompile kernel, install, reboot Install using ports. # cd /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 # make install 1) Do you want to use netgraph bridging? Yes/No Answer No 2) What will the IP address of your host on your private network? I like to use 192.168.2.1 3) What will be the netmask of your private network? I like to use 255.255.255.0 In VMware Configuration Editor, change Ethernet Adapter to 'Host-only' Edit .cfg file of the virtual machine. vmnet1.hostOnlyAddress = "192.168.254.1" vmnet1.hostOnlyNetmask = "255.255.255.0" --> vmnet1.hostOnlyAddress should be the same as the vmnet1 interface (use "ifconfig" to get it). In the virtual machine, statically configure IPaddress to an IP address on the same network (i.e. 192.168.254.2) and the netmask should be the same as above. Set default gateway to 192.168.254.1. Add in DNS servers, and you should be ready to surf the web or whatnot from within your virtual machine. After the installation is complete type: # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vmware.sh start Now, run ifconfig to see the new interface: vmnet1. Then, run kldstat to make sure the proper modules are running for VMware. You should see: vmmon_up.ko if_tap.ko linux.ko Then you should be able to start vmware, enter the license information and configure your VM.
