Installing an X Server
You need an X server to run the VMware Virtual Machine Console. If an X server is not
installed, you must install libxpm.so.4, located on your Linux distribution disk.
Before You Install on a SuSE Linux 7.1 or Later Host
The inetd process, which is required for the VMware Management Interface and the
VMware Virtual Machine Console to run properly, is not configured to start at boot
time on SuSE Linux 7.1 and later hosts.
Before you install GSX Server on a SuSE Linux 7.1 or later host system, you need to
configure your SuSE Linux 7.1 or later host so that the inetd process starts at boot
time. Boot the host operating system and make sure the network card and disk
subsystem work as expected.
Configuring the inetd Process in the Host Operating System
1. Start your X server, if it does not start by default, and log in as the root user.
2. Run YAST2, the default configuration utility for SuSE Linux 7.2 and later.
3. Click Network (SuSE Linux 7.1) or Network/Basic (SuSE Linux 7.2 or later), then
click Start/stop services (inetd).
4. Select the On with default configuration option.
5. Click Finish, then click Close to exit YAST2. The inetd process automatically
starts when you reboot the host operating system.
