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.  

Thanks for your help,

ejc
