Workstation 16.1 and Centos 8 KDE Display

Could not permanently set default display on Centos 8 Gnome.   So I switched to KDE.   In KDE I go and try to change the display resolution.    And when I do it initially makes the change and then quickly reverts back to the default.    At least KDE is nice enough to let me know its not going to happen.   

What am I missing to make a permanent change to display resolution in Centos 8 guest?

are you trying a 4:3 aspect ratio or 16:9?  I noticed Linux natively supported 4:3 under VMWare even though my host display was 16:9.  vmtools on the guest may be forcing this.

Try one of these resolutions:

1024x768

1152x864

1280x960

1400x1050

1440x1080

1600x1200

1792x1344

1856x1392

1920x1440

Thank you for the reply.   I tried several of them.   Still the same result - it does not save the change.

Looking at XANDR.
