Now it works. Below is >the full patch I used (against -stable). For what it's worth, I applied your patch to my stable branch (which I had just cvsup'ed), and it did fix the problem I was seeing. I was able to do a fair amount of vmware-based testing today, which was good because I needed to do that testing! Thanks for tracking this down. I had done a buildworld early last week, but I didn't happen to need to run vmware until today. It would have been a pretty depressing day for me if I had come in and not been able to do any of the stuff I had planned. For what it's worth, I did also recompile the vmware2 port. I forget whether I came across something which suggested I needed to, or if I was just on a roll compiling things and figured I would do that too. [I was experimenting with portupgrade for the first time today, and by the time I was done I had everything but XFree86 updated...] Thanks again! -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
