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

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.
