Inside VMWare I don't think it matters what your actual hardware spec says since
the "monitor" is not a real one. It is possible that the svga driver supplied by VMWare
does not handle 1400x1050 at all.

The best place to look is wmware's suport site or the newsgroups at news.vmware.com, 
e.g. the guest-os.linux group.
