After installing VMware Workstation 10 I was hoping to run Gnome 3 under Debian 7.1 in VMware Workstation, however when installing VMware Tools, I am getting the error message "/usr/bin/xrandr: Failed to get size for output default".
Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you need to configure it by
invoking the following command: "/usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl". Do you want
this program to invoke the command for you now? [yes]
Initializing...
/usr/bin/xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Making sure services for VMware Tools are stopped.

and then I get the message:
Detected X server version 1.12.4
Distribution provided drivers for Xorg X server are used.
Skipping X configuration because X drivers are not included.
Can someone please let me know how to get VMware Tools to install its 3D video driver?
And it would be good if Workstation 10 actually support Debian and Linux Mint correctly, that is installing VMware tools actually installed.
