VMware 4.x and FC2T2 - no X - X worked for FC2T1

[Jim Cornette]

I am trying to setup the GUI for my vmware installation of test2 and 
cannot get X to work yet.

I am able to retrieve updates using up2date and downloaded the xorg-x11 
updates. It was still installing the new xorg-x11 packages when the 
workday was done. I haven't tried to setup X with the newest rawhide 
packages yet.

The strange thing was that the installer worked fine in the GUI mode and 
completed successfully. I was surprised that X didn't start for 
firstboot. I didn't check if xfs was running or not. (post-install)

I did not enable SELinux for this installation. The driver that X wants 
to use is the VMware driver.

Any clues to either getting X to eventually work with newer versions of 
certain rpms would be appreciated.

This is on a Dell 2.4 GHz processor. I'm not sure how vmware emulates 
hardware without the toolkit installed. I only started using vmware 
recently.
