   I am using Workstation 7 and trying to install vmware-tools on Slackware 13.
   It stops at this:

   Detected X.org version 7.5.3.

   The configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf can not be found. Do you want to
   create a new one? (yes/no) [yes]

   Could not locate hal daemon init script.
   Checked: /etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon and /etc/rc.d/init.d/hal

   X.Org X Server 1.6.3
   Release Date: 2009-7-31
   X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
   Build Operating System: Slackware 13.0 Slackware Linux Project
   Current Operating System: Linux slackware13 2.6.29.6 #2 SMP Mon Aug 17 11:58:18 CDT 2009 x86_64

   Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
   to make sure that you have the latest version.
   Markers: (–) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
   (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
   (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
   (++) Log file: “/tmp/vmware-config0/XF86ConfigLog.11660″, Time: Mon Nov 2 14:28:02 2009
   (EE) Unable to locate/open config file: “/tmp/vmware-config0/XF86Config.11660″
   (==) Using default built-in configuration (30 lines)
   (EE) Failed to load module “fbdev” (module does not exist, 0)

   X is running fine with the new config file.

   Nothing happens after this line.
   I had to ctrl-c to break this.

   Does anyone know how to fix this?
