Hi, What distro you are running ? Is open-vm-tools installed ? This package is required for setting resolutions from user-space. Also what is the Linux kernel version used ?
Regarding usage of kernel option I suspect there is a upper limit on that, I will verify that. During bootup vmwgfx use fbdev driver and later it is switched to screen object.
