resolve the resolution issue of fedora

 

The issue is that libresolutionKMS.so is not loaded into the Wayland session on Fedora 33 (tested w/ VMWare Workstation 16). It works as expected in Ubuntu 20.10 with either Wayland or Xorg.

 

cp /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf.example /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf

 

nano /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf

 

Remove the # from this block:

 

[resolutionKMS]

 

# Default is true if tools finds an xf86-video-vmware driver with

# version >= 13.2.0. If you don't have X installed, set this to true manually.

# This only affects tools for Linux.

enable=true

 

systemctl restart vmtoolsd.service
