You do not seem to have defined your video card in /etc/make.conf (or indeed
enabled the vmware USE flag).

I suggest you study this first:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

PS.  3d effects may still not work if your card is old or poorly catered for by
existing xorg drivers.
The effects is working fine if i use the Gentoo live DVD.

Now formatted the drive and installing Gentoo again from the Gentoo Live DVD.
