I installed a fresh Ubuntu Server 16.04 on our VMWare cluster to try it out and begin building a template for it. After install, the IP address is displayed and it seems to work if I SSH into it, but I can't see anything on the console. I tell it to do a guest OS reboot and that works, I see stuff on the screen during the boot process, but then when I expect to be shown the typical text login screen, it goes blank. Trying to interact with it doesn't make anything show up. I checked that open-vm-tools was installed and it is. I did choose the EFI instead of BIOS for the VM which isn't typical for us at this point.

The vmgfx is shown loaded according to lsmod's output.

lshw & lspci show the following information on the display adapter:

```

```

I also uncommented the /etc/defaults/grub line "GRUB\_TERMINAL=console".

Any suggestions on getting the VMWare console login screen to come up?
