I have VMware working with a GeForce2 adapter (and a GeForce2 Go
adapter) just fine.  I'm also using the new native NVidia drivers,
though the XFree86 4 drivers also work.  Make sure you're not selecting
the full-screen mode.  It's documented as a no-no anyway.

If you're using the native NV drivers, there might be an issue with the
GeForce 4 and VMware.  If you'd like to use the XFree86 drivers with
your card, checkout http://www.marcuscom.com/g2g-xfree86/article.html.
