I did not have that line in my config file. However I added it in a subsection 
under module section and also I've added another line load "dga". These did 
nothing!

The first message I get from vmware actually complains that the dga module was 
not found:

"No DGA mode found compatible with 1024x768, depth 24, bpp 32
XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) power on failed."

can it be that I don't have the "dga" module or is that a vmware problem?

how do I check?
