Re: Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included.

It is not an error.  It is only for your information.

 

For older Linux distributions running in a VM, VMware Tools includes a VMware SVGA driver for use by the operating system's X server, and the VMware Tools install script has the job of installing that driver into the guest OS and configuring the X server to use it.

 

Modern Linux distributions -- including CentOS 6 -- will include a xorg-x11-drv-vmware driver bundled into the OS.  (Debian derivatives call it xserver-xorg-video-vmware.)  Because the guest OS includes its own VMware SVGA X driver, VMware Tools does not need to install one, and does not need to configure the X server to use that driver.  The guest OS has already set that up.

 

For any modern Linux distribution as a guest, the message you are seeing is perfectly normal and can be ignored.

 

Hope this helps!
