Default Cannot Get PCBSD 9 in Fullscreen Using VMware Player
This is my first time using BSD of any sort, mainly a windows guy with basic linux knowledge.

I wanted to test out PCBSD so I loaded it up in VMware Player and installed the VMware guest. The only problem I am having right now is that when I make PCBSD fullscreen it still only takes up 1/3 of the screen with the rest being blank. I even setup the correct resolution of my lcd screen with the same results. It is using the vmware driver for the video. My computer should be able to handle anything I throw at it.

Computer Specs as follows:
Intel 2600k i7, X68 chipset motherboard, 16GB 1666MHz DDR3, ATI 6790 Video Card, 60GB SSD SATA 3 OS Drive, 750GB WD Black Data Drive

What happens if you change the PCBSD VM's screen resolution up?

On my Gnome install:
System->Preferences->Monitors

On my vmware player here, I can run PC-BSD, and use krandrtray to adjust
the size to just about anything..
