The only thing I see missing with your description is that sometimes,
I've found I had to restart after adding the device hint mentioned in
that article.  Also, did you start the shell?  (It was in /usr/X11R6 but
if you did /usr/local it should be in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/001.vmware.sh start
(or, if you took defaults /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d)

your job. (leaves)
