I still can't build my vmx. The system is timing out while waiting for ssh. I've logged into the box and found that it never gets an ip address.
I've installed more X11 packages, but not sure that I needed to. You cannot connect to VNC using OSX's vnc viewer. It doesn't work with password-less connections. I installed realvnc's viewer and was able to connect. I was missing a kernel module that vmware needs: yum install kernel-devel yum install gcc vmware-modconfig --console --install-all yum groupinstall "X Window System" yum groupinstall "Fonts" yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop" Seems strange I have to install more dependencies and build kernel modules after I install vmware in order to get it to run.
