I'm no expert, but I do have a running version of Centos6 under VMWare. At first I thought that your logged error was due to problem with your VMWareTools install, but then I checked my install, and the control console says I don't have VMWareTools installed on that machine at all. > It is version 8.8.4-743747. > > I'm not sure if this is a CentOS issue or a VMWare issue but I thought I'd > start here. > > My Xorg.0.log shows this: > [43.093] (II) LoadModule: "vmware" > [43.095] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so > [43.102] (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation" > [43.102]compiled for 1.10.4, module version = 11.0.3 > [43.102]Module class: X.Org Video Driver > [43.102]ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 10.0 > [43.102] (II) LoadModule: "vmwgfx" > [43.132] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vmwgfx > [43.132] (II) UnloadModule: "vmwgfx" > [43.132] (II) Unloading vmwgfx > [43.132] (EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0) > [43.133] (EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being > able to to load module/driver vmwgfx > [43.133] (II) vmware: Using vmwlegacy driver everything is fine. > [43.133] (II) LoadModule: "vmwlegacy" My log looks similar to yours up to this point, but at this point my vmwlegacy driver loads and takes over.

I have tried to implement snort startup on boot via rc.local as well (See
below).
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't

This does not do the trick either so I am out of answers and this point and
defering to the community.

[CentOS] centos deployment project
Hello, Wanted to let folks know about a community project focused on centos/rhel deployment. The project is called CentOS Studio. The idea is to provide a general platform for assembling and testing rpm package repositories containing existing rpms, user-provided content and, optionally, anaconda installation images. The repositories can be used with yum, as usual, or to install complete systems from boot images, over the network, etc. A stable beta release of the CentOS Studio product is available at www.centosstudio.org. Would love to get feedback. Kay ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
