    Hi folks,

    I have installed FreeBSD 4.9 yesterday, in an vmware enviroment. So
    far, everything works fine, but I don't get the x-server running. I've
    configured everything so far. But there seem to be some problems with the
    videocard. standard vga is not accepted by FreeBSD included vmware
    drivers. I tried a litte around, but it won't work. On my other,
    "real" computer I had no difficulties runnig the x-server and kde for
    instance.

    So, is there anyone who maybe has some experience with this matter?

    I would really appreciate some help.

    Thanks in andvance

    Marcel
