Hi,
I couldn't start my XWindow after doing a "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" on my gentoo vm. It just complained*"undefined symbol: PictureScreenPrivateIndex" and it appeared my old xorg-server 1.4.x didn't have such a problem.**

Here is the startx log.

Try recompiling the package containing this module.

did you forget to rebuild the vmware drivers after you rebuilt the X-Server?
