What is it doing with these FreeBSD > files/libraries then? > At this point we must still be in freebsd xinit, then XF86_VMware(linux server) get started. I'm running a linux X server under freebsd. Under 3.2R all I had to do was change the symlink for X to point to XF86_VMware, under -current /dev/tty0 can't be found. Where was linux "/dev/tty0" coming from under emulation in 3.2R, the kernel device struct changed under -current? I made these symlinks as suggested, ttyp0 -> tty0 and ttyp4 -> tty4 gave me errors with VT_ACTIVE, VT_WAITACTIVE, VT_GETMODE. I should have to make these symlinks they should be handled under emulation, just like 3.2R. BTW: Another release of vmware for NT is out today.
