I am having an issue with getting a VM to load and display a graphics package.

The VM is running RHEL 7 VM on ESXi 6.7 that is using PCI Pass-through


I created a Linux RHEL x64 VM.
I was able to activate the M5000 GPU for the VM via PCI.

When the VM boots, a modified XORG RHEL OS is loaded via a PXE menu.
The system then reboots, and I can see the OS load as there are several messages being displayed on the VM screen.

It continues and then it stops at the message:
“Started OpenSSH server daemon”

Looking at the Xorg.log, I see messages such as:

NVIDIA GLX Module 390.25 ....
Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so
NVIDIA Unified Driver for all Supported NVIDIA GPUs

Using VT number 1

No device detected

Fatal Server Error

No screens found


I am not sure what this specialized OS runs, but it is loaded on physical server and works.

Any ideas on what i need to add or modify to get the OS to load and run the graphics to the VM screen?

thanks

Latest info,,,is

I boot the VM and login as a user,,
When I issue nvidia-smx
I get back information on the driver

This leads me to believe that the VM is communicating to with the driver, but still cant see any info on the screen,,
no graphics, etx

I get the same errors about the display..

I am not a Linux expert, so I am not sure what to check next
