I did change the type of mouse from "auto" to PS/2 inside the configuration editor and it still complained. I tried everything I could think of--giving it the /dev/psm0 device, etc. but still no go. Then I modified my X setup to use /dev/sysmouse & SysMouse and ran moused. I set the type to "PS/2" mouse inside the configuration editor but didn't provide a device file. This worked! I was able to switch to full-screen mode. So, the question begs--is running moused (and hence using /dev/sysmouse for X) an absolute requirement for getting VMware to go into full-screen mode? It seems like it is ....
