--- Comment #4 from Chris Rees <crees at FreeBSD.org> ---
I understand where you're coming from-- if we take the view that xorg-drivers
installs everything needed for pretty much *any* computer to run X, then we
should imagine that it is a reasonable expectation that vmware machines also
work with xorg-drivers.

If you're still not a fan, perhaps instead we could have a meta-port
specifically for vmware machines, so that in the vmware docs they suggest
installing this port and all the recommended stuff gets installed.  That means
we don't have to recommend the user install about ten ports at the start.
