The problem on the end was that when the primary card (nvidia) was not set as the primary boot card, it was not setup right by the bios and hence X could not access it, so just setup nvidia back as the primary card, and voila, wonders work.

rc-update add hald default

run it:

/etc/init.d/hald start

and retry the drill with vmware.
