VMWare server won't switch to full screen mode - says it's a XF86 config problemI

I'm hunting the VMWare forums on this, but, I ask here as well as 
it looks as if it could be an xorg problem. Has anyone 
encountered the following error when trying to switch to full 
screen mode: 

********************************************
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.
*********************************************

On a very similar F7 box (this one is F7, P4 2.8 GHz, 1 GB ram, 
and nVidia card with proprietary driver) - box at home is 
running the same video card but has Dual Core processor, same 
ram, at home my machine switches to full screen with no problem. 
Comparing the two xorg.conf files yields nothing real obvious. I 
could post them if someone has a theory, or has fixed this 
before.
