Vim & Vision
[ #61 ] NetBSD VM Permalink
... and the new NetBSD VM is working. pkgsrc is the packages system for NetBSD. If you are looking for mod_perl it is in www/ap2-perl. pkgsrc has a cool feature with sysutils/open-vm-tools being their port of VMWare tools. So you can just:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/open-vm-tools
# make && make install
... instead of installing the VMWare tools normally by mounting the fake CD image. NetBSD isn't officially supported by VMWare anyway, though they reckon the normal tools will work if you pretend it is a FreeBSD system and have FreeBSD emulation on.
Here is an XF86Config that I stole from somewhere (see the comments section, thanks guy.) It works great for the MacBook:
# xorg.conf to get OpenBSD 4.4-beta (2008/07/11 18:54 snapshot) to display the
# screen at 1280x800 resolution on VMware Fusion 1.1.3 on a late 2007 MacBook
# running Mac OS X 10.5.4
#
# Modified from http://blog.durables.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/xorgconf.txt
# Context: http://blog.durables.org/2007/03/02/vmware-fusion-beta-2-is-out/
