Problem installing ESX 3.02 and VM Tools on RHEL 4

Hi,

Got 2 other identicle boxes with no problems, but whenever install the tools on this host X Windows throws it's hands up saying something about the mouse not being detected/configured.

It allows me to drop back to the command prompt but if I log in I see "module no found" flash for a breif moment and it drops back to the login. If I SSH and uninstall the tools all is fine.

I've tried specifying different resolutions when configuring the tools but nothing worked for me so far.

I've got the outputs of the log file below, if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it greatly at this stage.

Cheers

Ray

Hello,

It looks like the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on one VM got trashed somehow, or there is a bit of Xorg not installed. To fix you can copy the /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the working server and place on the one that is not working and retry starting X.
