Hi Ian. Thanks for following up on this. If it's not too much bother,
would you please be able to provide the reasoning for this being
expected behavior? It seems odd that vmwgfx is presenting incorrect
resolutions to the guest, especially 4096x2160 which exceeds the maximum
physical resolution of the monitor and that this was working correctly
prior to kernel 6.8.0-44.44. vmwgfx still supports the correct
resolutions given the workaround option 1 that uses vmwgfxctrl to
manually set the correct resolution. vmwgfx just isn't detecting the
correct resolutions by itself.

Also, for what it's worth, as an additional comparison a Windows 11
guest doesn't exhibit this behavior and allows 3840x2160 to be selected.
Not that I'm suggesting Windows should be used as a benchmark in
general, but sometimes maintaining consistency may be desirable?
