Hmm, or maybe it's not entirely it. I tried downloading current kernel
source (apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`), patching the desired
mode in:

Then building and installing it:
$ make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build INSTALL_MOD_DIR=updates
$ sudo make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build INSTALL_MOD_DIR=updates
modules_install
After reboot I can verify that my patched module is loaded:
$ modinfo vmwgfx | grep filename
filename: /lib/modules/3.2.0-52-generic/updates/vmwgfx.ko
However xrandr still doesn't show 1920x1080 in the list of modes, and I
don't see it probed in Xorg.0.log. Weird... :-/

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.
