(after repocopying old ones, thank you joe). It seems that VMware does not provide a new version of guest tools for VMware 4.x to FreeBSD guest, but it would be better to add these ports, since users will know FreeBSD runs on VMware 4.x. I've also add vmware-toolbox port for VMware 4.x, which is for Linux guest. In VMware 3.x, we FreeBSD guest user are happy to use FreeBSD version of vmware-toolbox so we don't need the Linux version. However, at least my VMs, FreeBSD version's vmware-toolbox causes X pointer a bumpy one (pointer moves every seconds); it is unusable. Linux version seems OK for me, so if you have seen such behavior, please try linux-vmware-toolbox4 instead. Old ports cleanup will come later. Reviewed by: kuriyama (mentor)

VMware tools support FreeBSD _guest_ OS running on VMware Workstation.
|
|
Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _host_ OS.
|
|
|
|
VMware tools for FreeBSD consist of vmware-toolbox which supports
|
|
seamless operation between the Host and the Guest OS, dual-boot
|
|
configulation files, and special XFree86 3.x server for Guest OS.
|
|
However, we cannot install dual-boot configuration since it requires
|
|
to modify /etc files.
|
|
|
|
This ports will install vmware-toolbox to your computer, and
|
|
XFree86 X server if you set XFREE86_VERSION to 3 in /etc/make.conf,
|
|
If you already use XFree86 4.1.0 or later, you may use 'vmware'
|
|
driver for X server. Vmware-guestd is installed as a separate port,
|
|
ports/emulators/vmware-guestd4, but this port install guestd automatically.
