X server not running after install/deinstall VMware-tools

[karthik keyan]

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 .

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!

Can anyone tell me how/where to get the source code for the ls command . I
have tried very hard but failed so far.


Thanks

Hi,

 

I've installed RHEL 4.7 on a ESX VMware machine.

 

[root at 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
