Auto Resize Problem

After clean installation of Fedora 29 on VMWare Player + installation of open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop. Everything(Clipboard, file drag&drop, etc) works fine. All except auto screen resize.

xorg-x11-drv-vmware package is needed for this to work.

dnf install xorg-x11-drv-vmware

Share Directory Auto Mount

Unlike vmware-tools, serivce created by open-vm-tools does not mount the hgfs when it starts.

Adding following entry to fstab will make shared directory automatically mount during startup.

/etc/fstab:

.host:/   /mnt/hgfs/         fuse.vmhgfs-fuse uid=1000,gid=1000,allow_other,defaults 0 0
