--- Begin Message ---Package: open-vm-tools Version: 2:8.8.0+2012.05.21-724730-3 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer, The new MacBook Pro Retina sports a true 2880x1800 resolution screen, but not even Apple are using that true resolution. Instead, they offer a choice of scaled resolutions, with the equivalent of 1440x900 being recommended. Other useful choices are 1650x1080 and 1920x1200. I find that the best virtual screen resolution in a VMware Fusion VM should match the equivalent value in OS X, any other choice (whether scaled in Gnome3 or not) leads to fuzzy letters. The above resolutions are available in Systems Settings/Displays or with xrandr, and can be applied without any problem. The problem of this bug is that this resolution choice ("Keep this configuration") does not survive relogging in or rebooting. While the gdm3 login screen shows my preferred 1440x900, Gnome3 reverts to the real 2880x1800 resolution each and every time with the open-vm-{tools,dkms,toolbox} packages and related kernel modules installed. My eyes are just not good enough to handle the extremely small text under 2880x1800. I've tried setting the 1440x900 mode in xorg.conf, but this doesn't have any effect. Removing the open-vm-... packages solves the problem, though; then the preferred resolution survives rebooting. I've also tried the official VMware Tools, but here the same problem exists. This leads me to think that it is an upstream issue: the VM should consider as native screen resolution the choice of scaled resolution used in OS X.
