parentAdd vmware-guestd, a daemon for VMware 3.x FreeBSD guest OS. (diff)
Update for VMware 3.0.0 build 1455.

+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 X server for Guest OS. However,
-vmware-toolbox for FreeBSD lacks some features that vmware-toolbox for
-Linux has, and dual-boot configulation is broken because checkvm
-doesn't work.
+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.
-So this port installs X server ONLY. If you want vmware-toolbox,
-install emulators/linux-vmware-toolbox on your FreeBSD _Guest_ OS.
+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-guestd, but this port install guestd automatically.
