Solved for me!
I've found with google that its might be quite fiddeling to
install/ run vmplayer in a vserver.Now vmplayer 1.0.9 is
running on debian etch host an is used by another linux machine with
ssh -X user@host vmplayer '/home/....'
after installing x-basics:
aptitude install xlibs-data xutils xbase-clients
Thats okay for me.
thx to all
