that usualy happens with more recent graphic cards. Have you tryed to continue anyway?
he can't continue - that's the prob. I'd suggest trying other drivers or something... or maybe try a different [older] graphics card...
First of all u need to install VMTools.
Then u need to add these this to your [your_vm] .VMX :
mks.enable3d = TRUE
svga.vramSize = 32108864 (=32mb)
I'd additionally add
vmmouse.present= FALSE
to have less issues leaving the window border with your mouse.

wow almost got it, it plays the intro scenes and then stop with a white screen and some bg music and I cant do nothing more from there. Gonna reinstall the game
edit: dang it didnt work, still the white screen 
hmmm, the error u were getting before doom's suggestions refers to flconfigdatabase.txt file, which is 3d hardware definition file. it doesn't have an entry for ur card. maybe op could get this file updated for 1.8, and during update sequence in 1.7 launcher. op, plz, reconsider.
now, about the troubles u r still getting: doom, r u sure that 32mb setting is good? try without it.
32mb ram is minimum needed to run Freelancer, u can use as much as u want though.
I don't think your gfx card matters (how old/new) as long as it has more RAM, then the amount u assign to the VM (no problem in your case).
Dunno where exactly the problem is, what version of VMWare are you using? What version ov VMTools, and so on.
I think we should better discuss this directly, thats a lot less complicated.
My MSN add is: drdooom23@hotmail.de
or any other messenger, just let me know which one you use.

maybe try an other VMware
with this its work fine with me
http://www.vmware.com/
and install ware tools before running the game
I'm using VMware server, dont remember the version and yes Im using vmware tools, gonna check versions and post when I get home again, Ill be adding you to my msn DrDoom 
Dont use vm ware on CF
Well if thats the only chance to play Freelancer on Linux, why forbid it?
Besides it doesnt seem to work, since Linux has no DirectX support for 8.1
I dont forbid it ,I say not to use it on CF ,especially any similar programme that enables you to have 3 or more chars online at the same time.
Its not allowed and never has been.
since when?
since i said it
and when was that?
a few months ago
rly? i must have missed it. ok, i didn't even use it anyways, but it's good to know every not systemized rule there is.
Its easy ,if it looks like an exploit or gives you an unfair advantage over others , its not allowed.
If you arent sure ask .
wavey, if ppl would have had same ideas about what's fair and what's not, we would not have any need for rules rly. it would b best if some sp members would go through the forum and cf rules section to make a complete and systemized rulebook, post it and keep it updated, so there wouldn't b so much dilema about those, imho.
