It also did the trick on fresh 7.1+ installations.
1st docs I found around, but there are much more:
http://www.visoracle.com/vm/debian50/in ... tools.html
After some more installations of the vmware-tools, also on freeBSD, i made this universal install.
For freeBSD i found this example: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-instal ... se-freebsd
Install the vmware-tools:
1. Log into the console as root

The installation of VMware Tools 8.3.18 build-975338 for Linux completed
successfully. You can decide to remove this software from your system at any
time by invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-uninstall-tools.pl".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]
Initializing...

The module vmmemctl has already been installed on this system by another
installer or package and will not be modified by this installer. Use the flag
--clobber-kernel-modules=vmmemctl to override.
The VMware Host-Guest Filesystem allows for shared folders between the host OS
and the guest OS in a Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish
to enable this feature? [no]
The vmblock enables dragging or copying files between host and guest in a
Fusion or Workstation virtual environment. Do you wish to enable this feature?
[no]
Before you can compile modules, you need to have the following installed...

The fast network device driver (vmxnet module) is used only for our fast
networking interface. The rest of the software provided by VMware Tools is
designed to work independently of this feature.
If you wish to have the fast network driver enabled, you can install the driver
by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils,
make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your
machine. These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD.

The configuration of VMware Tools 8.3.18 build-975338 for Linux for this
running kernel completed successfully.
You must restart your X session before any mouse or graphics changes take
effect.
You can now run VMware Tools by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox" during an X server session.
To enable advanced X features (e.g., guest resolution fit, drag and drop, and
file and text copy/paste), you will need to do one (or more) of the following:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session; and,
3. Restart your X session.
Enjoy,
--the VMware team
Found VMware Tools CDROM mounted at /media/cdrom0. Ejecting device /dev/sr0 ...
VMware Tools are now accessible within an X server session by command:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/vmware-toolbox
To enable advanced X features, like drag drop / copy paste to/from workstation,
you will need to do one (or more) of the following commands:
1. Manually start /usr/bin/vmware-user
2. Log out and log back into your desktop session, and
3. Restart your X session.
To use the vmxnet driver, restart network using the following commands:
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/networking stop
rmmod pcnet32
rmmod vmxnet
modprobe vmxnet
/etc.initd.networking start
15. Reboot machine:
Code: Select all
shutdown -r nowCode: Select all
rm –rf vmware-tools-distribProbably this works on more linux platforms. (Debian / pfSense )
As you can see below even the vmxnet3 network card can be used @ 10Gbps!
All functions on these Virtual machines are actually awesome!
Used the same process for updating VMwareTools to version 8.3.17.15269 (.tar.gz).
Can also be used for corrupt installations, 1st thing it removes all and then makes a clean install.
Extra hint: Make a shortcut to command: /usr/bin/vmware-tools, name it VMware Toolbox, and there is the VMware Toolbox GUI within Linux GUI.
Good luck.
