Hi,
I have a similar issue. Upgraded from 8.5 to 11.5 and ElCapitan guest only runs in 1024x768
Host is High Sierra
- Reinstalled VM Tools several times.
- Tried sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VMware\ Tools/vmware-resolutionSet 1920 1080
but get the error unable to find the service
- Tried several combinations in the display settings of the VM.
On the guest it shows only 3MB of video memory, although for the VM 1GB is configured.
It seems to be an issue in 11. and 11.5
A fast solution would be appreciated, I`m running an important application in the VM.
Thanks
Stefan
