I am running Ubuntu 12.04 on VmWare 9. When I tried to install the Nvidia drivers, its unable to detect the hardware (GEForce GT 540M). Is there a workaround?

VMware VMs don't use native Nvidia or ATI drivers. They basically have a VMware driver that supports accelerated 3D. This accelerated 3D uses the native driver on your host machine to improve 3D performance, for example play games, etc.
Hope this helps.
