VMware Full Screen mode does not work?
If you have the message like this,
Unable to find an appropriate host video mode. Adding the guest mode to the 'display' subsection of the 'screen' section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config and restarting X is likely to help. Failed to switch to full screen SVGA mode.
when you change the guest OS to the full screen mode using VMware console, and failed. And if you have tried to add some resolution to your xorg.conf but not work, try add the "extmod" at "Module" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I solved this problem in this way.
(My Linux Environment is CentOS 4.5, Linux kernel 2.6.9, X Window System Version 6.8.2.)
Following my xorg.conf is working well.
Good luck.
