--- Comment #15 from Ralf <ralfdash199...@gmail.com> ---
System: Apple Macbook 12” (2017)
OS: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
VM software: VMware Fusion 11.5.1

More testing. I have an existing Manjaro KDE VM:

KDE Plasma: 5.17.4
KDE Frameworks: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Kernel Version: 5.4.2-1-MANJARO
OS Type: 64-bit

that ehibits this (800x600) on every boot. My notes from this summer indicate a
workaround. To fix in-session, do:

systemctl stop vmtoolsd.service
systemctl start vmtoolsd.service

To fix it "for good," edit:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service

adding:

After=display-manager.service

At the end of the [Unit] section.

Then resolutions (including HiDPI) can be set as usual. The in-session fix
still works and could probably be scripted, but the “permanent” fix above only
works sometimes! It failed all today day and then when I rebooted just now it
worked again. Sigh.

The above workarounds and “fixes” are from a discussion of the bug in the
Manjaro forums:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/vmware-cant-change-screen-resolution/89090

This would seem to be a bug at the intersection of Plasma, VMware and Open VM
Tools. Hope these data points help in some way.
