It looks like this is actually an upstream issue in 4.1.0. Silly me. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9 i686; Nav) Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rh7.2 inside a vmware guest 2. run startx Actual Results: X and gnome should start up Expected Results: the server aborts. Relevant error text is: Symbol mfbQueryBestSize from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.o is unresolved! ... This should not happen! An unresolved function was called! Fatal server error Additional info: Adding Load "mfb" to the Modules section allows the X server to start. (It crashes soon after that, but that may be because I'm using a beta of vmware 3. The problem in _this_ report shouldn't be dependent on that)
