maintainer-feedback requested: [Bug 223111] x11/xorg: Please include the xf86-video-vmware and the xf86-input-vmmouse ports in x11/xorg

[bugzilla-noreply at freebsd.org]

Thomas Hellström <thellstrom at vmware.com> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to x11 at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 223111: x11/xorg: Please include the xf86-video-vmware and the
xf86-input-vmmouse ports in x11/xorg
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223111



--- Description ---
The xf86-video-vmware- and xf86-input-vmmouse packages / ports enable VMware
users to automatically have a functional desktop when installing the xorg
package.

The xf86-video-vmware driver is one of the hardcoded Xserver drivers that are
tried at Xserver start, and it backs off if not run on a VMware platform.

Autodetection support for vmmouse+devd has just been filed as a bug. Meanwhile
there should be no harm in including it in the Xorg port.

Thanks,

Thomas Hellström
