Hi !

Some time ago I fetched your vmware port from internet.
I moved to -current because staroffice5 there is able to run
with a SMP kernel.

When trying to run vmware I encounter the following problems:

This message shows up immediately after program start:

kldload: can't load /usr/local/lib/vmware/lib/modules/vmmon.ko: Exec format error  

Then vmware programs starts, but a message box (which has to be accepted
with ok button) shows an error:

Cannot open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory.
Virtual terminal initialization failed.
Perhaps your kernel is not configured with virtual terminal support.

What am I missing ???

Here my kernel config file:
