Installing GhostBSD • Re: VmWare Tools Installation

Hi @ericbsd

I'm using plain FreeBSD + XFCE in VMWare,
and your post above is the best info I've found
for completing configuration of FreeBSD as a guest OS.

With those settings I got mouse integration.
It's great to know that it can actually work !
But at the same time, there was no keyboard input.

So I commented out the section that has
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
and then the keyboard worked,
but there was no mouse integration.

I guess GhostBSD sets up the keyboard somewhere else.
Maybe I need to add an "InputDevice" Section for the keyboard,
but I don't know what details to put in it.

Is there a proper documenation page anywhere, for open-vm-tools config?
I have not found sufficient info, on vmware.com, freebsd.org,
or github.com/vmware/open-vm-tools
