Can't initiate X session, using VMware Workstation as a host

Hey,

I just wrote a ton of text but lost it all when I clicked on the BBCode link, thinking it would open a pop-up.

So, to be short, I did follow the official xfce4, vmware, xorg and xinit Arch guides ; therefore I shouldn't miss anything. Indeed I installed Xorg, xfce4, VMware drivers, VMware tools (open) and vmtoolsd is running etc...

Still, I got the following error when executing startx or startxfce4 or xinit :

(II) AIGLX: blabla
(II) AIGLX: blabla
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI2 GL provider for screen 0
(EE) Fatal server error:
(EE) failed to create screen ressources(EE)
(II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
(WW vmware(0): drmDropMaster failed: Invalid argument
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

Supposedly it's because there's no available space on the disk, but there is space, several Go.

Please help me.
