While we're waiting for vmware5 on FreeBSD, I decided I could live with vmware3 as a stopgap for a while... So I went to /usr/ports/emulators/vmware3 and did a normal 'make install'. Everything went fine. I then followed mailing list archives and: /sbin/sysctl -w kern.ipc.shm_allow_removed=1 and: /sbin/mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc /sbin/kldload /usr/X11R6/lib/vmware/modules/vmmon_up.ko And proceeded to create my first virtual machine... I got an error about not recognizing sysmouse, but that eas easily fixed in the vmware mouse settings. Now, the only problem I have is, when I attempt to "power on" my virtual machine, I am told: "Failed to initialize SVGA device" and that's that. Any ideas ? It was suggested in an archived post to just try powering on 4-5x, but that did not help me. I am running the xorg that was in the ports tree with 6.2-RELEASE and xdpyinfo says: screen #0: print screen: no dimensions: 5760x1200 pixels (1572x331 millimeters) resolution: 93x92 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32 root window id: 0x96 depth of root window: 24 planes Any ideas / comments / suggestions ? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
