Thanks Daniel, Could you point me to the simplest example of one other back-end? (I looked into "test" one but don't know if it has been different after refactoring). So, consider VMPlayer as an example, I need simply do a system call "vmplayer --xxx yyy.vmx" in the driver implementation? Am I understanding it correctly? -Yushu On 8/14/08 3:13 PM, "Daniel P.
