Can't start Xorg after installing open-vm-tools-desktop: "Illegal instruction"
denbkh:
Hello!
I downloaded the v9.0 CorePlus-current.iso and installed it using vmware workstation 12.5.9 build-7535481. Then I installed open-vm-tools-desktop(10.2.5.3619) and did a reboot. After that I can't get gui working anymore.
When I try to start Xorg I have this error:

Please check full Xorg log file in attachment.

Do you have 3D hardware acceleration enabled under the display adapter options? Is this 32-bit or 64-bit? What host are you using, and does it have a working 3D video driver? There are known problems with software rendering. More precisely, we know there are problems, we just haven't found THE problem or any solutions yet. Also, you may need to add:
--- Code: ---mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
--- End code ---
to your ~/.vmware/preferences file.
denbkh:
Host: Windows 7 Pro (x64) SP1 - with all updates
Host video driver: NVIDIA 390.77 - works without any problems in 3d apps
Tinycore: 9.0 x86
uname -a: Linux box 4.14.10-tinycore #876 SMP Mon Jan 1 15:00:32 UTC 2018 i686
My first run was with 3d acceleration disabled in VM display settings.
But with 3d acceleration enabled I have the same "illegal instruction" bug. Please check the attached log file.
Adding mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE" to the preferences file did not help, got the same error.
I also attached the .vmx file with VM settings, hope this can be useful.

I have tried to replicate the problem on my work laptop. It's a Dell 7510. According to the NVIDIA system information dialog, it is Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 (version 6.1.7601) and NVIDIA video driver version 390.77. I am using VM Player 12.5.7, a new VM with TC 9.0 32-bit and open-vm-tools-desktop 10.2.5.3619, so other than the slight VM Player version difference so far everything is about the same.
What is different is that it works for me. I cannot reproduce the problem. My onboot.lst file looks like this:
--- Code: ---open-vm-tools-desktop.tcz
flwm_topside.tcz
aterm.tcz
wbar.tcz
--- End code ---
Somewhere in your dmesg output you should have something like:
--- Code: ---[drm] DX: yes.
[drm] Atomic: yes
fbcon: svgadrmfb (fb0) is primary device
Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 160x48
[drm] Initialized vmwgfx 2.14.0 20170612 for 0000:00:0f.0 on minor 0
--- End code ---
If DX is not yes, then 3d is not enabled.
denbkh:
I have the same DX: yes in dmesg. I attached the dmesg log file.
Changing the onboot.lst did not fix the bug.
Could you please upload your VM to any file hosting service (dropbox, google drive, etc.. ) and post a link? I will try to run it.
