Thanks in advance... Funny thing, I was doing the same steps today in vmware workstation ;) Had the same problems, and the following is the solution: Install the compat6x port. Seems the vmware tools are for the 6.X version of FreeBSD, not native 7. As root: cd /usr/ports/misc/compat6x make install clean Also, create the following symbolic link (This is where vmware searches for the library): ln -s /usr/local/lib/compat/libc.so.6/lib Thanks for the advice, this allowed me to install the vmware tools. I had the vm in such a state that I thought it best to start from scratch, so I did the following: 1) installed freeBSD7 into a new VM 2) Followed the steps above to install the compat6x lib and created the link to /lib 3) installed the vmware-tools 4) ran the vmware-config (/usr/local/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl) 5) installed kde via pkg_add -r kde 6) created a .xinitrc for root like this: echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc 7) tried to start kde by running startx and I get an error that the driver "vmware" in the xorg config file does not exist. I've attached the log from my attempt to start kde (Xorg.0.log) - from /var/log and my xorg.conf file (from /etc/X11) Thanks in advance for any help... /Kevin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
