I found the Xorg log and found the issue, Xorg couldn't find any screens 
to use with the Nvidia driver. Below is the data on the chipset that 
Xorg thinks is available.

(--) PCI:*(0@0:15:0) 15ad:0405:15ad:0405 rev 0, Mem @ 
0xe8000000/134217728, 0xfe000000/8388608, I/O @ 0x00001070/16, BIOS @ 
0x????????/65536

Given that I am running in a Vmware VM, which has 3D Acceleration 
enabled, and is supposed to be able to work with 3D Accelerated video 
drivers, how do I configure Xorg to work with the above chipset that 
Xorg thinks is present?
