Ever wanted to set up FreeBSD as a desktop computer? Here's how to do it!
Thanks to Stephen for the request to do this.

Here are all the commands I used.

pkg install xorg
pkg install mate
pkg install slim
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
moused_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
slim_enable="YES"
add "exec mate-session" to /home/"myuser"/.xinitrc
pkg install xf86-video-vmware xf86-input-vmmouse

Change the following in the xorg.conf.new

# search for Driver "mouse"
# and replace it with
Driver "vmmouse"


# make sure that under Section "Device" ,
# there exist
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "vmware"
BusID "PCI:0:15:0"

# and that under Section "Screen"
# Device for "Screen0" is set to
# "Card0"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"

mv xorg.conf.new /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf

startx or reboot
