Initially I was the person who reported this bug. So I would like to confirm xorg.conf which attached by intel (dts-dreamer) works for me as a workaround. Now I can use 1920x1080 resolution in my VMware Workstation 9 with Ubuntu 12.10.
Thanks for the workaround! totya -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969154 Title: Unable to set 1920x1080 resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a VMWare Workstation 8 guest Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My host system is Win7 64bit. My notebook has 1920x1080 native resolutions. I’m running VMWare Workstation 8 for desktop virtualization. Today I’ve installed Ubuntu 12.04 Beta2 as a guest. I was unable to set 1920x1080 resolution on the guest side. The gnome- control-center display command offered me a lot of other resolutions, but 1920x1080. I’ve also installed the vmware-tools, because I assumed the absence of that tool is the problem. However I’ve had to realize the problem still exist after a successful vmware-tools installation. (Yep, I did a reboot after the installation.) I have to say my Ubuntu 11.10 works like a charm, so for that version the 1920x1080 not a problem at all. If you need more information to fix this problem, I’m glade to help you.
