Boot into 0.40pre2 GUI in VMware #244

Open TylerJaacks opened 2 years ago

TylerJaacks commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to boot in the GUI using VMware on 0.42pre2.

I have ran kldload i915kms # for Intel GPUs which runs fine but i'm sure it doesn't work cause I need to run for VMware Video Drivers. Then running /System/Library/CoreServices/WindowServer.app/WindowServer results into Failed create backend. I'm assuming this is cause there is no VMware Video drivers.

You're exactly right about the error message. Unfortunately there is no driver for VMware VGA in FreeBSD 13. There is one in 14-CURRENT that we may be able to backport.

Where is the driver code located?

It's in the port called graphics/drm-current-kmod as vmwgfx.
