Hi *,

I have installed gentoo as a guest in a vmware. I use a genkernel 3.5.7. I have installed the official vmware tools manually (not via the portage package). That allowed :


  • drag and drop
  • window autofit to host
  • copy and paste clipboard sharing


but I could not get the time synchronisation with the host machine working. So I decided to test open-vm-tools 2012.10.14.874563. I have uninstalled the official vmware tools first and than used

Code:
emerge -av open-vm-tools


It build just fine after I accepted the packages in portage.keywords. Now I have perfect time synchronisation to the host but lost the functionalities


  • drag and drop
  • wind autofit
  • clipboard sharing with host


I checked /etc/conf.d/vmware-tools and drag and drop is enabled. Is there something else I need to start or enable before I get these features working?

Thanks,
gemi
