vmware-tools-freebsd No drivers for x.org version: 7.6.5.
Hello, I have FreeBSD 9-CURRENT up and running in a VMware Workstation 7.x and I tried to install the vmware-tools-freebsd of VMware to get the driver for Xorg, but it seems that X.org 7.6.5. is not supported. My other VM runs a 8-CURRENT with X.org 7.4_1 which works fine. Any idea how to solve this? Should I go back to X.org 7.4_1 in 9-CURRENT? Or should I fake the vmware-tools installer to see X.org as /.4 while it is 7.6.5?

X.org 7.5 already has VMware drivers, so you can just install the x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse and x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware ports. Alternatively, run make config in x11-drivers/xorg-drivers, check the VMMOUSE and VMWARE entries, and rebuild this meta-port. Btw, I have no idea why these drivers are not enabled by default.

Re: vmware and freebsd 8
I haven't used vmware so I can't say if it's better but it didn't take me long to get freebsd up and running with virtualbox. Just follow the instructions at http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox You do have to install /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions/ on the guest. I got FreeBSD 8.1 and PC-BSD 8.1 both up and running on it. I'm having some sound issues but other than that it works great, in fullscreen mode you can't even tell it's running as a guest on a host machine.

We use paid-for ESX, not ESXi, but that shouldn't make a difference. FreeBSD 8 and ESX play great together, at least in my circumstances. Setups are pretty generic - minimal installs + ports with different VMs for subversion, apache, postgresql, OSSEC, netflow collectors, snort and even a few virtual FreeBSD firewalls. Overall I couldn't be more pleased. so the question is which vmware tools should i get for the fbsd 8 guests to go with the esxi 4.1. in the ports there are vmware-tools6, 5, 4, 3. tried six. it wants some disk. there is also the open-vmware-tools. is that open one better to play with the esxi 4.1 an the vmsphere thing? I install vmware-guestd6 from ports so I can eliminate all of the X libraries getting installed. ESXi should come with a freebsd.iso file that you can use for the tools install (I'm not one of our ESX administrators so I can't speak definitively but I did get an ISO from them for the tools installation). also is there anything better than vmware for virtualization that plays nice and with fbsd? The rumour is that FreeBSD does great as Xen domU but then you have to have a Linux or Windows dom0 (perhaps Mac OS X would work, too?). I'm doing a CentOS install right now, specifically to try FreeBSD under Xen. As someone else mentioned, VirtualBox and FreeBSD get along great though I'm not entirely sure *I* would use it for a production environment. I ran VirtualBox on a FreeBSD host with FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows XP and Windows 7 Ultimate guests and my issues were minimal. It's the only virtualisation software installed on this workstation. kmw -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?

The floppy gives the following error: Error mounting floppy fd0 (/dev/fd0) on /dist : device not configured. Just as a test I found a floopy for an old PicoBSD floppy to see if it could be read. It failed too. However, if the PicoBSD floppy image is first in the boot order it actually boots of the floppy image. Search for this issue show some old messages of people having simmilar problems, but given that they were old I wondered if the issue had been resolved. I am aware that in VMware one can create one VM and make a template.

Considering that VMware is now at version 7 something I would just move on and use VirtualBox. 95% of the stuff VMware 7 can do it can do, although the OSE version in ports lacks USB pass-thru, but I'm sure it is leaps and bounds ahead of VMware 3 from ports. VMware will most likely ever support FreeBSD as a host and the Linux kernel hooks are too deep to reverse it and since VirtualBox works great, just use that. I run Win7 x86 and Win2008 R2 just fine inside VirtualBox. There is currently a bug in the FreeBSD-stable kernel (newer then Jan 29th) or so which caused the current VirtualBox install to freeze.

The problem is that they have build the server to depend solely on how linux operates. Hard coded commands, specifics about modules (i.e. lsmod, depmod, etc). If they wern't so full of fuzz about the installation, chances are the VMServer would run under linux-emu on BSD. But alas, at the moment BSD lacks the commands that VMServer requires.

I need to get a key in order to actually run a machine, but I think overall it will eventually run XP. Had to change my linux compatibility etc etc. The difficulty with Xen at present is that it won't run XP/Win2k etc etc which vmware will. Xen will eventually get there now that they've got agreements with M$. The real problem with these emulations is how far they are from the real hardware.

VMware on FreeBSD
Hello, I cannot use VMware 2.x on FreeBSD 4.7-prod because I don't have a 2.x license #. I use VMware for Linux host but I cannot use that 3.x license # on my FreeBSD system. Can you direct me to where I can find a work-around? or how I can run VMware 3.x on FreeBSD? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
