I believe that you are using it ;) Just since mid-year 2000 vmware port was integrated into the FreeBSD port tree and VMware folks didn't make changes in the Linux kernel drivers. >i tried running 'truss vmware' to try n get more info, but it locked my >entire system up, and i had to reboot. >gonna see if maybe i can ktrace it or something.. maybe get a better >idea of "what" is happening exactly You should remeber that vmware it'a linux application, so to use truss or kdump doesn't make a big sense here. And probably no one from us have access to vmware source code, so ability to fix bugs are very limited. -- Regards, Vladimir To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
