Re: X server not running after install/deinstall VMware-tools

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Here are simple commands to configure Xorg from the command line:

## Probes your hardware and creates a config file accordingly.
X -configure

## This is to test that the new created config file works well.
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

## Personnaly I would backup the old xorg.conf file and see what differs
## from the newly created one.
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /root/xorg.conf.backup.date

## now put in the new created xorg file into the appropriate location
cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf


###SIDE NOTE
whatever you do or use to fix your issue, keep a copy of a working
xorg.conf file in case this happens again.

Good Luck,

Hi Karthik,

I did run the configuration tool.

But the problem now is that I deinstalled vmware tools and now the
normal X server (Xorg) does not come up.

When I start X (startx) the following message appears

[root@rbndtcgxwo601 log]# startx

Hi Adrain
If u have installed vmware tools - run the cmd  vmware-config-tools.pl
and set the desired resolution and run startx , X will work fine .

Vmware Tools will have the updated drivers for OS specific.

Dont uninstall or reinstall Xorg .

Karthik

In future you can use a simple method of getting a source code:
	a) determining which rpm contains a file by a command rpm -qf
<file>
	b) getting a source rpm with yum
Good luck! Paul Malinowski

Hi, I've installed RHEL 4.7 on a ESX VMware machine. [root@rbndtcgxwo601 /]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7) It worked quite nice until I installed the VMware tools. So I uninstalled the VMware tools, but stil I can't get my
Xserver
	running. The screen is flipping between the Cross and a screen
full of
	vertical barrs and sometimes there is the blue ring (consisted
out of
	balls) rotating. But still there is no X screen.
Now I thought to reinstall the X software (is it xorg??) How can I do this with rpm or with up2date? I couldn't get is to force install over the same X software.!!! # rpm -qa | grep xorg xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.52 fonts-xorg-75dpi-6.8.2-1.EL xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-twm-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-xauth-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-tools-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU-6.8.2-1.EL.52 fonts-xorg-base-6.8.2-1.EL fonts-xorg-100dpi-6.8.2-1.EL xorg-x11-xdm-6.8.2-1.EL.52 xorg-x11-font-utils-6.8.2-1.EL.52 Met vriendelijke Groeten, Tom Adriaansen IT Beheerder | Infrastructure Services | IT Operations * +31 314 34 9223 * * tom.adriaansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reed Business
