Change display resolution, Big Sur host and guest

I upgraded my macOS guest from Catalina to Big Sur. I could change resolutions in Catalina but now I'm locked to 1024x768.

This is on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with 16-inch (3072 × 1920), with the host resolution scaled to be one step bigger above the default.

I get black borders to the left and right, and I can't change the resolution.

I tried both "Use Fusion Display Preferences" and stretching

I also tried running this and reboot, no change

  $ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist DisplayResolutionEnabled -bool true

I also tried this that just says "Unable to set resolution"

  $ sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-resolutionSet 3072 1920
  Requested resolution: 3072x1920
  Effective resolution: 3072x1920
  Unable to set resolution

Please help.
