I haven't actually tried VMWare 4, but at least for VMWare 3 you don't
need VMWare tools just to get X running.

Below is a XF86Config file that should work out of the box (again: at
least for VMWare 3...). If it doesn't you could try to first let X
auto-configure a new file for you and then add the missing lines
(ModeLines etc.) from the file below.

(Don't ask me about those ModeLines, I copied them from somewhere
else...)
