Suspend/resume support for 7-STABLE guest in VMware Player?

[Wayne Sierke]

I've installed open-vm-tools-nox11-90473_2 in a guest 7-STABLE install
running in VMware Player 2.0.1. I'm not familiar with the vmware guest
tools so I've been bumbling along.

I've added to /etc/rc.conf:
        vmware_guestd_enable="YES"
        vmware_guest_vmmemctl_enable="YES"
        vmware_guest_kmod_enable="YES"

# dmesg | grep -i vm
        ad0: 8192MB <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive 00000001> at ata0-master UDMA33
        ad1: 20000MB <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive 00000001> at ata0-slave UDMA33
        acd0: CDROM <VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive/00000001> at ata1-master UDMA33
        VMware memory control driver initialized

It works ok with the exception that when the host pc suspends and
resumes, the clock in the vm is not updated and thus ends up being quite
retarded. I see the suspend/resume scripts were installed from the
open-vm-tools. Is there further configuration needed to get it
functional or does it just not work?


Thanks,

Wayne
