Undefined Monitor VMware

After installing VMware tools in a Linux VM, if X windows will not start and you get an error similar to “undefined monitor vmware”, then you need to manually modify the xorg.conf file.

Do the following:

1.      Edit the X config file

#nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

2.      Add the lines

Section “Monitor”

        Identifier   “vmware”

EndSection

3.      Restart X

      #startx
