Hi,

If VMware is a must the mainline kernel should work if you use bumblebee?  You might have to go into runlevel 3, remove all of nouveau, set your default boot to runlevel 3, reboot, install the mainline kernel, then follow the bumblebee wiki to get nvidia working with the mainline kernel.  Then startx and check your Xorg log file for errors and if it works hopefully VMware will work.  I don't know if this will make a difference but have you tried Oracle's VirtualBox?  It might have better support for Linux.
