Well, I don't know if this helps, but I'm running it sucessfully under:
FreeBSD genius.tao.org.uk 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #36: Su=
n Apr 23 21:04:59 BST 2006 joe@genius.tao.org.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENIU=
S2 i386
using these ports:
linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_7/
linux_base-suse-9.2/
vmware-guestd-4.5.2.8848_2/
vmware-tools-4.5.2.8848_2/ =20
vmware3-3.2.1.2242_12,1/
I've got this defined in /etc/make.conf
OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=3Dsuse-9.2
I can confirm that I do have acpi enabled.
