Hello,

I removed the VMware' vmware-tools-freebsd and installed from the ports
x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse and x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware;

When I now run 'X -configure' the X.org server Seg faults after loading
the /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so
(a complete Xorg.0.log is attached)

Any ideas or should I file a bug report?

	matthias
