I didn't notice any particular differences with X under VMWare.  After 
you install X, you have to install the VMWare Tools.  Follow the 
directions and it will do what it needs to make X work with the VMWare X 
server.  After that you can configure X however is easiest for you (for 
me that's editing XF86Config-4 with vi).

I don't use SuSE but the VMWare docs don't seem to indicate any hoops to 
jump through.

If your console is running X, Ctl-Alt-space Ctl-Alt-F1.  If it is not 
running X, Alt-Fx (like usual).  This applies to both full screen and 
windowed virtual machines.  If windowed, you have to pay attention to 
whether the VMWare window has captured the cursor or not.

HTH,
