After installing vmware tools, you need to install guestd_patches. This patches vmware tools to do autofit with vmsvga2. (Out of the box, vmware tools only does autofit with vmwaregfx.)
Why unable to autofit guest even after installing the vmware tools? I use VMware 9.0.1 in win 8 and have installed the VMware SVGA II display driver for OS X, v1.2.5 (http://www.insanelym...58#entry1862994)
