Resizing not to work is actually an issue of KDE4. Even if you use the nVidia 
set resolution application for example, the desktop is not resized. It's simply 
skipping the messages.

the KMP is the driver modules, and open-vm-tools is the user tools, like 
vmware-user (the one taking care of resizing for example) and host mounter. The 
KMP depends on the open-vm-tools, and the vm-tools are rather useless without 
the kmps too (the kmp should be installed automagically by yast when you're in 
a VM guest)
