VMwareTools 8.8.2 update killed Xorg display

I was running with the happiness of a guest RHEL 6.2 in VMware Workstation 8 on Windows 7, until the tools VMware 8.8.2 update. After you install this update, the vmware-tools - config.pl is no longer recognizes the Xorg version (1.10) and trashed my X set up and display. Now, I am limited to a display of 1024 x 720, instead of the full resolution of the monitor of 1920 x 1200. Mind you all think that worked very well with VMware Tools 8.8.1, which unfortunately, I have not saved. So my question is where can I find a copy of the VMware Tools 8.8.1 re - install until fix them the problems created in 8.8.2 or is there something else I can do to fix this?

Hi Mark,

Thanks a ton for newspapers. Here's the problem:

My suspicion is stomped 8.8.1 tools drivers included in the package of xorg - x 11-drv-vmware packages, and it might not have been correctly restored when you uninstall the upgrade to 8.8.2. Then, 8.8.2 version who knew better that to mess with version packaged distribution, it leaves just things like: broken. (NB: I have not actually watched Installer tools stuff to make sure.)

I think you'd be able to get things working again by reinstalling the package xorg - x 11-drv-vmware. That should do things to a good state known.

If please give it a shot and let me know how things work.

Thank you!

-Ryan

  • ENVY 13-D046TU: F.35Ap1 BIOS update kills port HDMI on ENVY laptop

    After installation of the firmware update marked Softpaq number: SP75152, F.35Ap1 Version now four of our laptops (13 "and 14" ENVY ENVY) have a HDMI port not working. The external screens are 'no signal '.

    We spent a lot of time with the help of HP (via Hong Kong, we found ourselves in India). Remote control sessions. All a waste of time. The update of the BIOS is faulty, no system restore cannot solve this problem.

    Same day (June 13, 2016) one of our laptops automatically installed this update of the BIOS with the HP Support Assistant and killed the HDMI port.

    A. is there a way to acquire and install the previous BIOS?

    When can b. we expect a new update of the BIOS?

    C. how the hell did this update of the BIOS pass test? -> 4 / 4 updated computers laptops have a broken HDMI port. We have 7 other laptop on the left who are fortunately not updated.

    Hi there @BugFinderand @DebVancouver.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff. From what I understand, bothl of you experience the same problem with HDMI after a BIOS update.  I'm happy to help you with this.

    I would, if possible, that each of you try the laptops HP - restore the BIOS to a restoration to the having previously worked BIOS.  The main purpose is to return you to a working state. If this method works for you, obviously do not install BIOS update again.

    Edit: Bugfinder reported that restoration, the method of BIOS didn't work for him, but he had to do several times (4 times in at least one case). I guess you could say that it is true to its name, and I thank very you much for the comments.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if not let me know if there is an error message any. If this does not solve your immediate problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hey,.

    Is it really a problem of display driver you need a new version? If you need a new display driver for the games, you must update the first DirectX version and take a look if the game is compatible with your graphics card.

    If you can find t a new display driver for Satellite L500 check other specs of the laptop. Other models like the Satellite L650 also have an AMD graphics card and there you should find a newer version. :)

    The best way to deal with that is to go in the updates, make a right click on the particular update, then select "Hide update". That removes it from the list.

  • Moored W510 has really bad update video internal display

    I noticed that when I anchor my w510 in my dock, updates on the internal display is terribly slow.

    What I mean is that scrolling in applications is very choppy and rough.

    Play videos full screen creates 'split-screen' effect where the Summit of the half is out of sync with the bottom half, this separation is not constant, different media are the divider at different locations. several media have it in about 1/3 from the top.

    This is also apparent in other applications like games full screen.

    I did some research on the internet about this behavior and have not yet found a good explanation.

    First I thought it was something power, I have no 135W power, and I checked the CPU is without limitation down or something unusual rooted or not anchored. I read people have bad experience with the power of 90W with limitation or simply bad terrible performance of the CPU down.

    The really strange thing is that as soon as I unplug the computer from the dock, this behavior disappears!

    The laptop running on battery or external power gives me about this problem.

    I also tried to fix an external display directly on laptop or docking station, and I see no problem on external display.

    When you use external display with docking station, the internal screen is still having the problem, while at the same time the external display shows no problem, regardless of the configuration of extended screen or mirror.
