Public bug reported:

I'm testing Ubuntu 16.04 as a guest of a VMWare Fusion guest under Mac OS X 10.11.1.
All works fine, but I'm unable to set 1920x1080 resolution (monitor native) on external display. I can do 1920x1600 or more, but not 1920x1080. I have tried open-vm-tools and vmware-tools, but problem persists. On display-setting, the monitor is marked as unknown display.

1) Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) - release 16.04
2) xorg 1:7.7+12ubuntu1
3) Looking to change external display resolution as 1920x1080
4) I have not found the 1920x1080 setting
