Actually, If you think about it, switching to akmod packages for nvidia
might actually fix the problems, but not because of a change to the
nvidia driver.

The akmod packages need to be able to build things, so they install a
whole load of dependencies that are compiler relate.  So, while the type
of nvidia driver won't change things, having a compiler installed might
be very useful in getting vmware to compile.
