chmod +r /opt/vmware/bin/vmware fixed that for me.
i installed vmware on a new machine and it let me run it by default as a

save changes to the config, like memory settings etc. any ideas?

I think youve stuffed up. Remove all bits of the vmware you
have just
installed, emerge vmware-workstation.
Run /opt/vmware/bin/vmware-config as root then
start /opt/vmware/bin/vmware as user and add your licence etc.
rc-update add vmware default so the changes

I ran into a perpetual re-configuration problem with VMWare
also.
Every time I booted, it would complain about not being compiled
for
the running kernel. I'd log in, run vmware-config.pl, which
would
complete successfully. But then on the next boot, same error.
The solution was to set

any ideas on how to get around the:
XFree86 direct graphics (DGA extension) initialization failed.
Cannot switch to full screen mode.
i cant get it to go full screen without that i guess, and gentoo
uses xorg, does xorg have a dga extension? im using an nvidia
card and i have glx loaded and
im tring to setup vmware on my gentoo installation, and its
asking me where my init files are rc0.d through rc6.d, gentoo
doesnt really have anything like that so what do you do in this
case? /etc/init.d/? any help would be appreciated.
thanks
