Finally there's the matter of the Linux Guest OS, to set the correct resolution, it has to come with certain packages but in any case I will show you how to install them and enable. Not the the `xf86-video-vmware` package is for `X11/Xorg` only not for `Wayland` as the name implies.

To enable the service just run :
To install & enable the service inside Linux guest just run :

```Bash
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-vmware open-vm-tools
sudo systemctl enable --now vmtoolsd
```

### Issues

If resolution does not get fixed and you are stuck at low, then you might need to install the necessary packages. Below is what you need. Reboot then run the above command...

- Video Drivers

```Bash
sudo pacman -S xf86-video-vmware open-vm-tools
```
If resolution does not get fixed and you are stuck at low, then you might need consult the follwing detailed Docs (Arch) >> [**VMWare Setup**](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware) or [**VMTools**](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware/Install_Arch_Linux_as_a_guest#Open-VM-Tools). If you are installing another guest, like **Ubuntu**, **Debian** or anything else you will have to find relevant info on your own, I only know and use **Arch**.

Yet another tool to add to the arsenal...
