Hello
Just recently I started vmware2 and got this error message:
Cannot open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory.
Virtual terminal initialization failed. Perhaps your kernel is not configured
with virtual terminal support.
Failed to initialize mouse-keyboard-screen control.
I couldn't find anything on google or a trwal through the -current request
emails, so I'm reduced, once again, to asking for help. Here's some output
that I think (?!@#?) might be relevant:
su-2.05b# mount -p | grep devfs
devfs /dev devfs rw 0 0
su-2.05b# ls /dev/tty*
/dev/ttyd0 /dev/ttyld1 /dev/ttyv1 /dev/ttyv6 /dev/ttyvb
/dev/ttyd1 /dev/ttyp0 /dev/ttyv2 /dev/ttyv7 /dev/ttyvc
/dev/ttyid0 /dev/ttyp1 /dev/ttyv3 /dev/ttyv8 /dev/ttyvd
/dev/ttyid1 /dev/ttyp2 /dev/ttyv4 /dev/ttyv9 /dev/ttyve
/dev/ttyld0 /dev/ttyv0 /dev/ttyv5 /dev/ttyva /dev/ttyvf
su-2.05b# uname -a

su-2.05b#
I'm fairly sure I've run vmware succesfully since I did the last make world
and kernel build, but not certain. In any case, I haven't made any major
changes to my config file (nothing UPDATING didn't tell me to do)
So... where's it gone? If anyone's got any idea I'd be really grateful.
Thanks,
Ben
