>Description:
Vmware 3 starts working with a black screen if DISPLAY is not set to 
localhost:0 .
The problem is that vmware doesn't recognize 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' as a 
local machine. That's why it can't
switch in full screen mode.
A parcial-sized screen of vmware starting can be seen in a virtual console (try 
ctrl+alt+f{2|3|...})
if DISPLAY is not tweaked.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install and start emulators/vmware3 without modifying the variable DISPLAY. Try 
changing virtual consoles.
