No vsync in vmware guest

Hi

I am running Arch as guest in VMware with Mac OS X as host OS.

All apps in X11 runs without vsync, that is "unlimited" FPS.
When running for example
$ vblank_mode=x glxgears
glxgears always runs at ~1500 fps regards of x=0,1,2,3

Wayland running natively (from console) runs nicely at 60 fps so this is a X11 issue.

VMware is Fusion 7.0 with hardware accelerated graphics enabled.
Graphics driver is SVGA3D (vmwgfx).
Direct rendering is active.

Anyone know if there is a fix for this?
