Fedora core in vmware



Hi,

I currently have fedora core 2 running in a vmware box on my
laptop but I have a problem with my console resolution.
When I try to change it with kernel parameters such as vga=
it just hangs and restart the xwindows of my host which is
SuSE Linux 9.3. Does anybody know how to safely switch the
resolution under vmware without hanging when I switch from
graphic mode to text console?

.
