VMWare Fusion since Xorg update

Has anyone been able to get screen-resizing and seamless mouse integration working with VMWare Fusion since the Xorg update last week?

I'm running VMWare Fusion 2.0 on a Macbook Pro, with Arch + wmii working in a Virtual Machine.  I followed these instructions, which worked great until the Xorg update:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _in_VMWare

Prior to the Xorg update,  I could resize the Virtual Machine's screen,  and X would resize correctly.  I could use Full-Screen, and the Virtual Machine would take up my full screen as expected.  I also could just move the mouse outside of the VM and my host OS would then take over the mouse.

After the Xorg update, I had the problem with the "RGB" entry in xorg.conf.  So I commented that out.  X will now start, but the screen will not resize correctly (It stays in the same square dimensions), and I have to use the Ctrl+Cmd key to break the mouse free of the Virtual Machine.

If anyone has been able to get screen-resizing and seamless mouse integration working, I would love to hear how you did it.  I'm afraid that the open-vm-tools package needs to be updated with new Xorg stuff, so it might be a matter of waiting.

I also tried re-compiling the vmware modules, but they didn't appear to help.  I'm at a point where I would just like to start over, and hear from any VMWare Fusion user that has their setup working with the new Xorg.  Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks,

Any word on this? I'm not getting mouse or keyboard functionality either.

Can one of you throw up your xorg.conf?
