-Since VMware 3.x, there is a problem which might be related to shared
-memory under Linux emulation, giving as a result black screen.
-Unfortunately, it's extremely hard to track down what's going on and this
-is as yet unresolved.
-
-If you experience this problem, setting your DISPLAY environment variable
-to "localhost:0" should help.

+
+NetBSD had problem with emulation of Linux SVID shared memory handling,
+which caused black screen in VMware 3.x when the guest OS switched
+to graphics mode. The problem has been fixed in NetBSD 2.99.9 and
+2.0RC3.
+
+If you experience this problem, setting your DISPLAY environment variable
+to "localhost:0" should help.
