(EE) No Screen Detected on ESXi 6 with Nvidia K6000 Passthrough

Posted on

Hi All,

I'm new to the setup of RHEL 6.5 on VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0 and below is the current setup of my system and it fails to startx after Nvidia driver (version 352.63) install no matter ho i tried. Wonder anyone have any idea.

I did follow the guide from Nvidia, Red Hat on the driver installation. Ensure the ESXi recognize it before doing the PCI passthrough but still it seems like not able to detect the screen.

Appreciate if anyone can help.

Thanks
