That message is also shown on my system. However, this message can be 
ignored, I had no trouble because of this reason so far.

Start vmplayer directly from the console:

- Change into the directory where the files of your virtual machine are 
  stored.
- Execute the following command in this directory:

  xinit /usr/bin/vmplayer -X <vm.vmx>

  Replace <vm.vmx> withe the filename of your vmx-file

If the virtual machine stops during bootup, just hit enter a few times. 
Depending on your hardwaresettings vmplayer shows messages on not found 
or not activated devices, but the virtual machine should come up at 
last.
