Did you read section about Full Screen mode from README.FreeBSD file:
- Fullscreen modes
VMware would not even started session when our DISPLAY
variable will be like ':0.0'. So to run VMware on the local
display you are need to change DISPLAY environment to something
like 'localhost:0.0'. For example use the following commands
(for bourne shell):
DISPLAY=localhost${DISPLAY};export DISPLAY
