setting up X -- under VMWare?
I'm setting up X on a FreeBSD 4.11 machine. I've done that before, but this is the first time I'm doing it inside a VMWare virtual machine. What monitor/video card parameters should I supply for XFree86-4 configuration? That of my real monitor/video card or some virtual VMWare one? thanks, Thomas -- N.J.

VMware exports a virtual video device if I remember correctly. I'd try running xf86cfg to see if it recognizes it...who know's you'll get lucky ;) otherwise it .ko should be located in /kernel/modules. -pete thanks, Thomas -- N.J.

The conf's should be mostly portable, but a few issues may pop up. -p -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org http://www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is the xorg.conf I use under VMware. I made it at hand... As far as I remember, the only difference with Linux is the paths. Laurent.
