Red Hat Fedora on VMware

In case you didn't know, VMware is a nifty program that lets you create virtual computers so you can test OSes, run potentially unstable code, whatever. A great part of it is that you don't need so set up ethernet devices (great for me since my wireless card didn't want to play nice).

I installed Red Hat Fedora Core 2, and in order for the X server to run, you need special drivers installed (VMware Tools). I'm pretty sure I installed VMTools right, but when I tried to launch X, it gives an error.

Quote:
Fatal server error:
Cannot open mouse (no such file or directory)
and it gives a short list where VMware: Option "hw_cursor" has stars next to it.

As far as I understand it, X is required for the GUI. Any ideas?
