Problem
A VM running under VMWare Player won't dynamically resize the "screen" on drag or full-screen.
Solution
cp /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf.example /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf
vi /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf
Remove the # from this block:
[resolutionKMS]# Default is true if tools finds an xf86-video-vmware driver with
# version >= 13.2.0. If you don't have X installed, set this to true manually.
# This only affects tools for Linux.
enable=true
systemctl restart vmtoolsd.service
