please provide the output from the following commands:

uname -a
dpkg -l | grep vmware
lsmod | grep vm
/etc/init.d/vmware-common stop; /etc/init.d/vmware-common start

there will usually be log files placed somewhere in /tmp, maybe
/tmp/vmware-$USER; please attach these.

note that Debian can only provide support for vmware-package, i.e. the
Debian package in the archive which generates the vmware-* packages.
however, I try to make sure that there are kernel modules which work
with the Debian kernels in stable and testing/unstable and that there
are no regressions from installing vmware manually to installing from
vmware-package generated packages.
