Here are all the commands I used. pkg install xorg pkg install mate pkg install slim proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 moused_enable="YES" dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" slim_enable="YES" add "exec mate-session" to /home/"myuser"/.xinitrc pkg install xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse Change the following in the xorg.conf.new # search for Driver "mouse" # and replace it with Driver "vmmouse" # make sure that under Section "Device" , # there exist Identifier "Card0" Driver "vmware" BusID "PCI:0:15:0" # and that under Section "Screen" # Device for "Screen0" is set to # "Card0" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" mv xorg.conf.new /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf startx or reboot #FreeBSD #OpenSource #garyhtech
