I just freshly installed arch on my vmware, everything went smooth just facing one problem in the resolution part, set my grub_gfxmode to 1920x1080x32 but its not working what to do?

well for the xorg resolution install open-vm-tools, xf86-video-vmware, and xf86-input-vmmouse then enable the vmtoolsd and vmware-vmblock-fuse services

echo cedar
#

btw when i do xrandr -s 1920x1080 it works

yoo thanks both of u 🙏 for ur precious time ||sorry for the pingpensivemoai || @plush topaz@verbal canopy problem solved i just restart my vmtoolsd.service and
did some
The relevant modules may have to be added to mkinitcpio.conf:
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
MODULES=(vsock vmw_vsock_vmci_transport vmw_balloon vmw_vmci vmwgfx)
and regenerate the initramfs and it worked lol did everything wut was suggested on wiki dogekek tux3d

#

that's why I run an arch vm to keep learning

#

yes, arch inside arch coolsphere

#

now mark this as solved and archive it
