Hello, this is my first post here. I have been trying to tweak the VMWare tools configuration such that I can resize my OpenSuse tumbleweed VM by dragging the corner of the guest window, but I have been unsuccessful so far.
My VM is running this:
$ rpm -qa | grep open-vm
open-vm-tools-11.2.5-1.4.x86_64
open-vm-tools-desktop-11.2.5-1.4.x86_64
$ rpm -qa | grep libvmtoo
libvmtools0-11.2.5-1.4.x86_64
I managed to overcome the same problem with these in Arch Linux, by installing the package xf86-video-vmware, which is the vmware SVGA video driver, but it does not seem to fix things in Tumbleweed.
sudo zypper se xf86-video-vmware

So, I guess I will need to do more fiddling with X.Org, but if anyone has done this already I would appreciate if you can share the fastpath solution :).
