    Installing under VMware. Initial base install goes fine. Installed VMware tools first, then Xorg. Added my login to the Video group.

    this command, "To run the X Window System, use startx(1) from x11/xinit, or install and configure a display manager to start a graphical login on
    boot." Initiating startx does nothing at the prompt. And where does one
    find a display manager.

    Is there any resource out there that explains what changes need to be made
    to the xorg.conf file for use with VMWare?

    Sincere thanks for any replies.
