I install vmware-tools but it fails to start...
Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:Switching to guest configuration: doneGuest memory manager: failedVMware User Agent: doneGuest operating system daemon: doneUnable to start services for VMware ToolsExecution aborted.freebsd-9-USGv6#
I reboot and the mouse works fine but my keyboard does not work fine. My log Xorg.0.log and my log for /var/log/messages
Here is my etc/rc.conf

the 5 lines that start with vmware are for the open-vm-tools which seems to do nothing either with or without vmware-tools installed... any help would be appreciated. I see a thread was started on this before but i couldn't figure out how to reply to that thread (maybe its dead?) VMware tools is heavily desired for FreeBSD 9.0
Thanks
I figured it out!
