ESXi 6.7 M5000 GPU Pass-through to VM - no device detected

I am having an issue with getting a VM to load and display a graphics package.

The VM is running RHEL 7 VM that is using PCI Pass-through on ESXi 6.7

I created a Linux RHEL x64 VM.

I was able to activate the M5000 GPU for the VM via PCI.

When the VM boots, a modified XORG RHEL OS is loaded via a PXE menu.

The OS loads and I reboot,,

I can see the OS load as there are several messages being displayed on the VM screen.

It continues and then it stops at the message:

“Started OpenSSH server daemon”

Looking at the Xorg.log, I see messages such as:

NVIDIA GLX Module 390.25 ....

Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs

Using VT number 1

No device detecte

Fatal Server Error

No screens found

I am not sure what this specialized OS runs, but it loaded on physical server and works.

Any ideas on what i need to add or modify to get the OS to load and run the graphics to the VM screen?

thanks
