I moved a VM to a laptop (1366x768). Now I have a problem with the resolution. Everything is ok on 800x600.

If I change the resolution to something higher than 800 (eg: 1024x768..), then, everything after the 800th pixel is mirrored on the first 800 pixels.

Running a Linux 3.13.0-29-generic x86_64 x86_64 on VMware 6.0.2
Everything updated (dist, package, vmware).

I tried
- to reconfigure xorg, re-install xorg.
- different window manager, re-installed them,
- playing with xrandr,
- uninstalling nvidia driver on hosting pc.

none of the above worked.

Any ideas on how to proceed? I 've spent 10 hours on this already, without success.
