    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.
