I have windows xp setup in VMware, with vmware-tools installed. The display adapter shows up as the vmware adapter. When i try to fullscreen VMware, i get this error message:

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.

Anyone have any suggestions?

In the VMware menu, go to Host/Preferences/Display and check both options. From there you get auto sizing of screens.
