What happens if you try ro run without an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file at all? I would like to see the /var/log/Xorg.0.log for this case. Normally it should just work (using the xf86-video-vmware driver). If it doesn't there's a bug somewhere. Try with a recent snapshot if possible, because there have been updates to xf86-video-vmware driver a few weeks ago.
