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. They would seem very useful in a default X.org installation. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thanks for help *S* You should be able find the screen dimensions for that MacBook Pro somewhere on the net. If my memory is correct and it's like my 13 acrylic MacBook then it will be something either 1280x800 or, less likely, 1280x720. I'm really old so I use an config file in the standard location: /etc/X11/xorg.conf configuration file to control X. If I understand correctly this is not longer strictly necessary. You can generate a base config by running: # X -configure That will write a file: xorg.conf.new into the current directory. For monitor setting I've never found anything on VMware Fusion, or the MacBook line that gives those numbers. I've been using: Section Monitor Identifier Apple MacBook Pro A1286 Display VendorName Apple HorizSync 27.0-86.0 VertRefresh 50.0-72.0 Modeline 1440x900 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync Modeline 1280x800 83.46 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801 804 828 EndSection I'm using the Vesa Driver rather than the native vmware one so I'm pretty sure that the MacBook is actually handling the display settings. Again, there are instructions on the net for hacking xorg.conf specifically for VMWare Fusion and or Parallels to get a crisp display on a FreeBSD VM on a Mac. - I haven't found a way to map a key to Scroll Lock.

I don't need multiple copies of the same post. CCing the original poster is standard etiquette on FreeBSD mailing lists. Most lists are open to anybody to mail to without being signed up, so when replying there's no way of knowing whether or not the questioner will see a reply that only goes to the list. This is especially true of freebsd-questions. 1) I have posted several times on this list and only received CC's on two of them that I can recall. Obviously your standard is not so standard. Well, it's not an ISO or IETF standard, that I'll admit. However, if you take a look at the article on getting the best out of -questions http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/freebsd-questions/article.html#AEN206 (which is one click away from the Mailing List Etiquette section of the Mailing List FAQ) section 8.6 starts: start quote Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, reply to the sender and to FreeBSD-questions. end quote 2) I placed a very clear notice at the bottom of my post(s). Many people would consider that a clue as to my desire to receive multiple copies of the same document. My MUA (Thunderbird) greys out signature blocks, some other mailers also de-emphasise them. This and the fact that most sig blocks are just chaff means they tend not to get read. That's unfortunate on the odd occasions they have significant content. 3) Perhaps it is only me; however, most of the major lists that I employ all require a registration by the poster prior to being allowed to post. Many lists do, the FBSD lists tend not to. From the FAQ, note the final paragraph. start quote 1.3. Are the FreeBSD mailing lists open for anyone to participate? Again, this depends on charter of each individual list. Please read the charter of a mailing list before you post to it, and respect it when you post. This will help everyone to have a better experience with the lists. If after reading the above lists, you still do not know which mailing list to post a question to, you will probably want to post to freebsd-questions (but see below, first). Also note that the mailing lists have traditionally been open to postings from non-subscribers. This has been a deliberate choice, to help make joining the FreeBSD community an easier process, and to encourage open sharing of ideas. However, due to past abuse by some individuals, certain lists now have a policy where postings from non-subscribers must be manually screened to ensure that they are appropriate. end quote 4) I have seen several posts where the OP requested to be CC'd because they were not registered members of the list. Obviously, they were aware of the necessity of being CC'd or reading the archives in order to review any posts to their request. Now, is someone is just so plain stupid that they are not aware of that simple fact, then they are too stupid to be posting to begin with. Are they stupid? No. Are they unfamiliar with the way things are done round here? Quite possibly. I think you'll find that many of the people who do that are first time users or possible future users, often coming from a Linux background and/or used to closed lists. With luck, as people start using FBSD seriously they'll also take some time to read the FAQs. [For lurkers reading this, if you haven't read the Mailing List FAQ you'll find it at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/mailing-list-faq/ ] 5) If you noticed, I asked Odhiambo very nicely not to include me in a CC. I am sure he meant well; however, the inevitable destruction of electrons in the transmission of the superfluous document could have been avoided. If you interpreted my remark as criticising your politeness, I apologise. That was not the intention. Oh, and speaking as an ex-physicist, if electrons are being destroyed in transmission I'd *seriously* worry about your ISP. Either they've got a source of positrons or they've got radioactives that undergo electron capture. Either way I wouldn't want to be anywhere near their kit.

As for dd-wrt, I personally find the extra features (like the built-in OpenVPN client and the xbox-kaid) to be useful for my own personal needs. Indeed, although having the option to use dd-wrt (or openwrt) is helpful if the vendor is slow to update their stock firmware in the case of a significant bug or security issue.

Although, flashing that particular model was, in my experience, about as obtrusive as it would have been flashing the router with an updated firmware from the manufacturer. Very easy to do. Agreed. I flashed mine with both the lasted vendor firmware and dd-wrt version to compare and saved a working config from each, but I'm currently running with the vendor's version for now. I have a FreeBSD box configured as the DMZ host which does dyndns updates and used to do OpenVPN. The first I'm still using, the second I don't need to, but if I did, I'd probably move to having the router do it with the dd-wrt firmware instead.

The FreeBSD console has a special mode where you can scroll back and forth in console output after hitting Scroll Lock. I'm just not sure what key on the Apple Keyboard VMware maps to Scroll Lock. (2) have a screen resolution of at least 800x600. To start, the X log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log file is a good source of information about what X is doing if you are trying to tune things. Getting a good screen resolution should just be a matter of setting the refresh rates to match your monitor. You may be able to put any values you like in there since your screen and video adapter are virtual. All of this gets configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I believe it's considered gauche to hand configure this anymore but since many modern displays, the Apple laptops included, don't conform to the VESA standard modes it's helpful to be able to tune things by hand. The problem is compounded by the fact that again, in VMware you probably aren't talking to the real hardware. Any modern hardware should just tell the X server what it's Sync and Refresh rates are. One final tip: Check the amount of VideoRam that VMware assigned to the virtual machine.

To All: I installed 8.0 last year with no trouble at all. However, this year, I put it on a new machine (Toshiba laptop A505-S6981 running Windows 7) but I can't seem to get any of the port packages to install. This time I used a DVD ISO image, rather than a CD-ROM as before. It seems like sysinstall can't find necessary dependencies, although it does appear to have loaded the packages (e.g., X11) into the proper directories. Any idea what is going on?

I consider not cluttering up the inboxes of people subscribed to the list a good reason to do otherwise. You seem to miss one crucial fact: Not all the people who write to this list are subscribed to it. They will not see any replies directed only to the list. It is for their benefit that that rule exists. You seem to fail to realize that it's possible to CC someone who isn't on the list, but not CC someone who *is* on the list. That would be why people who aren't members of the list say thinks like please CC me, while people who are members occasionally say please don't send duplicates to me. The solution to this problem is so obvious that I am amazed that no one has proposed it. Simply require the poster to be subscribed to the list. Other high quality lists, such as but not limited to Postfix have that requirement in place. If a potential poster is either too stupid or too lazy to subscribe then that is their problem. For the record, I have subscribed to lists before simple to post one question. Upon receiving an answer, I terminated my subscription.

Can we just drop this matter? It's bad enough that iPhone mail makes this whole ordeal a pain in the butt to read, but in the grand scheme of things, it _just doesn't matter_. I'm subscribed to the list, I expect lots of email from the list that I probably won't read anyway, but at least it's helpful to someone, somehow. My 2 cents. -Alex___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: vmware-tools-freebsd No drivers for x.org version: 7.6.5.

My other VM runs a 8-CURRENT with X.org 7.4_1 which works fine. Any idea how to solve this? A co-worker and I recently went through this. Seems the trick is to install xf86-video-vmware-10.16.9 (we are using 8.1-RELEASE), then re-run the vmware-config.pl file that you un-packed from the vmware-tools tarball, then run X -configure (as root), then copy /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (making appropriate backups first, of course). We were able to achieve 1600x1200 resolution. -- Devin 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. Dimitry, Thanks for your kind fast answer; does this also mean that I could completely get rid of the VMware' vmware-tools-freebsd? I'm using on the 8-CURRENT system the emulators/open-vom-tools and will install them in the 9-CURRENT too.
