I've been trying to get linux working for the past couple days, and I thought all would be well since I got the internet working and thought I had vmware tools installed right, but now when I boot linux, it gets to the login screen and to the point where it should load the x-windows server but the screen flashes a couple of times back to the text prompt (there's osme weird pink on part of the screen which makes it seem graphics related) and comes up with a message saying:
"I cannot start the X server. It seems that the pointer device is not set up correctly. ..."
And then in the following log I found it said: "Fatal server error: cannot open mouse (no such file or directory)". Then when I start the mouse config I pick generic 3 button and it tries to start x-windows again but the same thing keeps happening. Even selecting no mouse doesn't help.
Keep in mind this is through a virtual machine with VMware, and the mouse has worked fine until I after I installed vmtools.
