Graphic driver troubles in VMWare

I'm trying to run archlinux inside a virtual machine.
I've installed open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-modules, but for some reason X is using the vmwlegacy driver,
which doesn't let me use a proper resolution...

[    49.320] (II) LoadModule: "vmwgfx"
[    49.322] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module vmwgfx
[    49.322] (II) UnloadModule: "vmwgfx"
[    49.322] (EE) Failed to load module "vmwgfx" (module does not exist, 0)
[    49.323] (EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to to load module/driver vmwgfx
[    49.323] (II) vmware: Using vmwlegacy driver everything is fine.
[    49.323] (II) LoadModule: "vmwlegacy"
[    49.324] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmwlegacy_drv.so

Loading vmwgfx with modprobe seems to work fine, however.
