Thanks Ed, I'll see if I can find someone who is running the same setup as me.
As a side issue, I had to reinstall vmware and virtualbox as a result of having to reinstall windows because the SSD that is windows drive c died on the weekend. After the reinstall of virtualbox the network issues I had with the original install have disappeared, but the X11 virtualbox video driver supplied by fedora does not support the 4k resolution of my monitor whereas the X11 vmware driver supplied by fedora does. Is this something that can be raised as a bugzilla?
AFAIK, and I could be wrong, the driver supplied by fedora is an opensource version of the driver supplied
by VMware. Much like nouveau is the opensource of the nVidia driver.
You are correct in saying the driver supplied for vmware is open source,
but with the advent of Version 11 and onwards of the vmware-tools vmware
require users to source and use the vmware-tools supplied by linux
distributions, as opposed to a windows guest where vmware still supply
the vmware-tools.

So, sure, you can raise a BZ. But not sure how long it would take, or how much effort would be put into, getting
the capability added.
