What errors?

The instructions on the website are pretty much up to date.  However, on 
some distros like Ubuntu have the libGL/DRI/Mesa files in places that 
don't get updated when you do a 'make install'.  I've  had the most 
success by installing everything into /usr/lib/ and then rm'ing all the 
previously install libGL/DRI/mesa files.

Is this on the host-side?  I don't think you'd ever see this in the guest.

You mean you don't see vmwgfx in the output of 'lsmod'?  If that's the 
case, what happens when you run 'sudo modprobe vmwgfx'?
