You can use graphic driver modules (${X11}/lib/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.o)
that is bundled with recent Xorg/XFree86, and it is (ideally) the same one
VMware supplies by VMware tools for FreeBSD.
No worries, it just works. Don't forget to set
Driver "vmware"
to Section "Device" in xorg.conf/XF86Config. You may also set
BusID "PCI:0:15:0"
to "Device" section, but if my memory serves right, it is automatically set by
driver itself.
