Hmm. Looks like the latest vmwarevga commits broke *ix/xorg guests. I tested the 2008-03-11 cvs snapshot with sidux-2008-01-200803010113-nyx_pre1-kde-lite-i386.iso (debian sid based Linux livecd) and FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RELEASE.iso (FreeBSD based livecd), on sidux xorg said:
(WW) ****INVALID MEM ALLOCATION**** b: 0xf0000000 e: 0xf07fffff correcting and the xserver display was garbage, and on FreeSBIE xorg didn't even start, showing a similar complaint. (both with Driver "vmware" in xorg.conf) Do the latest commits need a bios update maybe? Anyway, a 2008-03-02 snapshot works (now committed as FreeBSD qemu-devel port), at least for these two guests (I don't have a windows guest here atm.) FreeSBIE even was able to attach ed0 (the default ne2kpci nic) as well as the emulated es1370 soundcard, which didn't work previously when using vmwarevga. Just thought I'd mention... :) Juergen
