According to the user manual, anyhow. So far the only VMs I've created are
running XP and a couple of Linux distros, and I haven't changed controllers.

I'll say again that this port has really been a godsend. I've used VMware
Workstation on Windows XP in the past, but being able to stick to FreeBSD has
greatly simplified my life. Now my Windoze box can go back to being used for the
occasional game, as God intended.
