I do have the xorg-x11-drv-vmware package insalled:
$ rpm -qa | grep vmware
xorg-x11-drv-vmware-11.0.3-1.el6.i686
$ rpm -q --provides xorg-x11-drv-vmware-11.0.3-1.el6.i686
vmware_drv.so
vmwlegacy_drv.so
xorg-x11-drv-vmware = 11.0.3-1.el6
xorg-x11-drv-vmware(x86-32) = 11.0.3-1.el6
$ locate vmwlegacy_drv.so
/usr/lib/vmware-tools/configurator/...<about 10 different versions>
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmlegacy_drv.so.old.0
Interesting. Why is the driver called .old.0?
# yum reinstall xorg-x11-drv-vmware-11.0.3-1.el6.i686
...
# ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vm*
/usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers//vmware_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers//vmware_drv.so.BeforeVMwareToolsInstall.old.0
/usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers//vmwlegacy_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers//vmwlegacy_drv.so.old.0
Reboot and ... yeay! Full screen resolution.
Thanks, Ted.
Steve
