yum updating xorg-x11-drv-vmware to 10.15.2-99.1.fc9 seems to have fixed this problem for me. also, as workaround (in case you don't have networking in the VM), you can change the detected "vmware" driver to "vesa" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and optionally set a specific Modes line.
Fixed in -99.1.fc9 as per comment #4. Closing.
