I have installed VMware-player-1.0.3-34682 on Windows XP, grabbed a Ubuntu 6.10 vmware image from http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/.
The monitor is Dell 20" LCD with 1600x1200 resolution, but the Ubuntu guest inside VMware can only have 800x600 resolution. I tried to modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X. It didn't work. The Scree Resolution Preferences still has only 800x600 and 640x480. I tried to modify the .vmx setting, no luck. Finally, find the solution. Run sudo vmware-config-tools.pl, it will ask if you want to change resolution.
Now Ubuntu is in 1280x960 resolution, and there are plenty other options shown up in Screen Resolution Prefs.
