I just tried this new toy and found these things: 1. Has it been tested with xorg 7.1.0 guests? I booted http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/sidux/release/SIDUX-2007-01-200702210759-CHAOS.ISO (see http://www.sidux.com/Article116.html , it is based on debian sid and has has xorg 7.1.0) and it detected the vmware vga, but hung when trying to start X. 2. And with http://ftp.us.freesbie.org/pub/FreeSBIE/2.0.1-RELEASE/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso (see http://www.freesbie.org/ , based on FreeBSD 6.2 and using xorg 6.9.0) it worked (after editing `Driver "vmware"' into xorg.conf because its xorg autoconfiguration didnt know that card), but caused both the ne2kpci (ed0) and es1370 (pcm0) cards not to be detected: (from bootverbose dmesg:) ed0: <RealTek 8029> port 0xfffffb00-0xfffffbff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci0 device_attach: ed0 attach returned 2 pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1370> port 0xfffffc00-0xfffffcff irq 9 at device 4.0 on pci0 pcm0: unable to map register space (both are detected and work when using the default cirrus vga.)
Interestingly, the new eepro100 nic which I also tried (i82559er == fxp0, see other post) still worked... And I just tried the rtl8139 nic (re0) which also didn't work, saying: re0: couldn't map ports/memory rl0: couldn't map ports/memory (the rl driver also matches for this pci id, but would use non-C+ mode which eats more cpu.) Hope this is helpful to some :) Juergen
