For the BusID value, convert the hex to decimal:
BusID "PCI:19:0:0"
The Option lines are required to support the use of multiple monitors with vDGA.
Use colons (:) as separators in the xorg.conf file.
15 Restart the virtual machine.
The View Agent startup script initializes the X server and display topology.
You can no longer view the virtual machine display in the vSphere console.
16 From Horizon Client, connect to the Linux desktop.
17 In the Linux desktop session, verify that the NVIDIA GRID driver is installed.
Open a terminal window and run the glxinfo | grep NVIDIA command.
The NVIDIA driver output is displayed. For example:
[root]# glxinfo | grep NVIDIA
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL version string: 4.5.0 NVIDIA 346.47
OpenGL shading language version string: 4.50 NVIDIA
The user can access the NVIDIA GRID graphics capabilities on the remote desktop.
After installing the NVIDIA driver, if you upgrade the Linux kernel, View Agent might not be able to
communicate with View Connection Server. To resolve the problem, reinstall the NVIDIA driver.
