Install Minimum X11 on ubuntu jeos in a VM

bigluo

It looks like there is no need for installing vm-tools on any ubuntu distributions. Ubundu already incoperates drivers for a VMWare virtual machine. Therefore, for jeos or ubuntu server in a vm, a lightwight xorg system can be configured very easilly.

apt-get install xorg xdm fluxbox

edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to say as follows, where "Modes" should be referenced to your most favorite screen resolution.
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously
# in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings
# here are ignored.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
#   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
