Workstation. This commit makes vmware-tools4 a slave port of vmware-guestd4, since both are made from the same tarball, and it would be easy to maintain. Vmware-guestd4 also installs a kernel module named vmmemctl; you may want to kldload(8) it with a shell script under rc.d/ directory. VMware Workstation 4.0.1 does fix "jumping the pointer" bug (yeah, thanks VMware developer team). This means that you do not have to install linux-vmware-toolbox4. However, it can be used as it should be, I do not disable and/or remove this port.

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.
