The best way to get the answer is to state a contrary fact, rather than to
ask for advice here. :D

I would have said OpenBSD console switching in VMWARE kicks butt! and
waited for those with real information to counter you, then show their
cards :D

 As Client OS I chose FreeBSD, VM Ware tools not installed, virtual
 terminals CTRL+ALT+Fn does not work since CTRL+ALT releases control
 from the VM Ware application.

i think it's great that this thread went on so long an no one answered
the question.  the answer is:  you add SHIFT to the key sequence and
it prevents the CTRLALT from releasing.  so--hold down SHIFT and
hit CTRLALTF1 to get to the console.

And suppose VMWare decides to emulate different hardware/architectures in
their VMs? Suddenly, the dmesg becomes very pertinent.

Point is, better to be swamped with too much information than too little.
You'll find that statement in the archives as well.

All things considered, I'd rather have five things I don't need than
have one thing I wanted that was missing.  If for nothing else, it's a
refreshing Something Different from the Send me some useful info!
exchanges).  Heck, how many times have I spotted something in a
unneeded dmesg that actually did or may have pertained to the user's
question? (A: lots!)

If nothing else, dmesg tells us if someone is running a Theo-built
kernel, a home-built GENERIC (which we have to take with a big grain of
salt until we commit those changes that prevent even root from editing
/usr/src/sys/arch/*/conf/GENERIC), or a definite Ricer, which are
details that aren't always communicated accurately through other means.

Granted, in this case, OpenBSD was working perfectly, VMware was
blocking certain keystrokes, but obviously the OP didn't recognize that,
or they wouldn't have posted here.  Hey, not sure reassigning the
release sequence would have occurred to me if one of my coworkers
hadn't said, You'll want to change that so CTR-ALT-Fn works.  I've
also discovered there are ways to configure VMware so it doesn't work
with OpenBSD.

Besides, I haven't seen a VMware 5 dmesg yet, and we all know how
excited I get over dmesgs. :)

(what's the point of YOUR sending the dmesg again, rather than trimming
down the reply? :)


If in doubt, send the dmesg.  If you think it isn't necessary, send the
dmesg.  If you are absolutely sure the question has nothing to do with
hardware (or virtual hardware), and you have confirmed the situation on
five different platforms, dmesg is optional.  In my opinion, of course.
:)  However, my time lately is much less, there are lots of messages
I've been completely ignoring (or laughing at to myself as others try to
help the clueless, but still never ask for the obvious first-step in
debugging) because I don't have time to beg for every bit and piece of
info to verify (or disprove) a suspicion.

You can reconfigure VMWare to use another hotkey for releasing control.
Then you can use the terminals.
