I guess you are using vmware-3.x. The driver in X is not compatible with
the new version. There is a nasty workaround, not end-user compatible.
Copy /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers to a ramdisk, get the non-free
module from vwmare.com, replace the module in the ramdisk and bind-mount
the ramdisk over the existing directory. Then, go trough the X config
and modify as suggested in the vmware FAQ linked from the same page
where the module can be downloaded.
Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
