While testing my hands with ESX, I was confronted with some issues. There is not much to write to on how to set this thing up. Just a google away, and you will find excellent document from Xtravit on this subject.

What did not work for me is this...

the keys in vmx:

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = TRUE

monitor_control.vt32 = TRUE

the truth value is not in quotes, and after much fuss, with qotes, it works fine for me.... so, putting quotes worked for me.. and the correct value would be

monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

monitor_control.vt32 = "TRUE"

Enjoy...
