    Hi,
    I'm trying to install vmware-tools or open-vm-tools on Rhel 8 but i got error about conflict:
    I install it using:

    yum install vmware-tools
    

    and get error

    Error:
     Problem: problem with installed package kernel-core-4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64
      - package kernel-core-4.18.0-80.el8.x86_64 conflicts with xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse  13.0.99 provided by vmware-open-vm-tools-xorg-drv-mouse-12.6.7.0-0.329599.el6.x86_64
