After I went through all the trouble of installing this freaking thing, now I can't even power on a virtual machine. Yay!

After trying to power on, it just doesn't do anything at all, and I get this system message :

vmware-authd[1834]: The "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx" process did not start properly. Exit 0x100

Turns out it was an issue of badly set permissions, but the general problem of not being able to power on hasn't went away. I was able to for a few times and kept on getting errors, mostly that I didn't have a DGA whatever enabled in X and something about the network setting for the VM. But after I enabled DGA in xorg.conf and rebooted, now nothing happens again, besides a different set of errors.
