VMWare Workstation silently fails to Start
I've just installed VMWare Workstation on my Gentoo system (current kernel version - 2.6.36).
When the VMWare command is run, I get some output but no obvious error messages, then get dumped back to a text terminal. Inspecting the log file similarly show nothing that looks wrong, but I'm just not seeing a window.
Any idea what might be going on here?
