VMware 4.5 will run FC2.  Look carefully at /var/log/Xorg.0.log.  If you 
are running into the same problem I have. Then you will find your 
default color depth setting is wrong.

Mine was set to 16 bpp and needed to be set to 24 bpp in the 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file.  Once I fixed those 2 lines, X came right up.

Hope this helps.
