I am running XFree 4.0.1. I don't see how I can install VMWare tools if my VMWare experience lasts about 500 ms.

I suppose you are right about that. I suspect that it is XFree 4 because on my system as VMWare starts, the screen flashes to full screen with a message that it is testing the Xserver. Yours obviously is not finding a satisfactory server. What graphics card do you have? Did you have a choice of drivers to use? (My ATI Expert 2000 will run on xrage.rpm or r128, the later is far superior.) There are also several notes under Troubleshooting on the VMWare.com site. There are numerous support documents also.
