I'd like to use FreeBSD inside VMWare on my desktop. I've used
VMWare
for testing things out in FreeBSD quite a few times with considerable

getting hung up. I'm trying to use FreeBSD 5.3, with the latest xorg
from ports (just updated today).
I can't seem to get X to start with any decent screen realestate. If
I use the "vmware" driver, I'm stuck with 640x480. I experimented
some
and tried the "vesa" driver, which worked nicely except the screen is
huge (I'm guessing 3000x3000 or so) and since most of it is off the
monitor, it's unusable.
I've tried installaing the vmware-tools4 package, and I've tried it
without the package. It doesn't seem to make much difference either
way.
Any suggestions or pointers on how to get a usable system inside
VMWare?
Change you /etc/X11/xorg.conf to match the relevant parts of this
