When I use vmware driver in my xorg.conf I could not get more than 640x480. Using vesa (from xf86-video-vesa) driver in xorg.conf is OK. So what's the purpose of xf86-video-vmware?
This task depends upon

Please supply us with the Xorg.0.log inside the VMWare session.

Xorg.0.log - using vmware
Xorg.0.log.old - using vesa
Hmmm.. it seems that the problem is with monitor clock sync not set in my xorg.conf. But I'm not using vmware in fullscreen mode, so which monitor settings do I need in my xorg.conf? Do I need to use settings of my real SyncMaster 755DF? I thought that monitor clock settings are not meaningfull for vmware, especially in windowed mode.

BTW, what the last line of log file means?
(application/octet-stream)    Xorg.0.log (31.8 KiB)
   Xorg.0.log.old (49.1 KiB)
   xorg.conf (2.8 KiB)

Solved this by adding output of ddcxinfo-arch -monitor to Monitor section of my xorg.conf

Looks like the fake DDC stuff fails here. I don't consider this as a package bug, as it works fine after adding some HorizSync/VertRefresh lines.
