On Ubuntu 2010.10 I installed VMware. Then I installed the 2011.04beta1 in VMware. Evrything worked fine, but after updating packages and rebooting I got the following popup:

It seems that you do not have the hardware required to run Unity. Please choose Ubuntu Classic at the login screen and you will be using the traditional environment.

It opens a session anyway. I have never tried Unity but I am pretty sure it opened a plain old Gnome session.

How can I trick out VMware to support Unity?

Dont think the vmware guest tools support Unity 3d yet - I havent had any luck with VMWare Player 3.x. See this also - How do I know if my video card can run Unity?

You could try installing unity-2d, or try using Virtualbox which does work with Unity 3d (most of the time).

See this link for install instructions - http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/how-to-test-ubuntu-1104-with-unity-in.html

If using VirtualBox, you need to enable 3D acceleration in the VM settings (Display->Enable 3D acceleration).

If using VirtualBox, also don't forget set up Guest Addition.
