At present, the driver doesn't support the functionality required by the WindowServer to rotate the display. If I have time in the future, I'll look into doing this.
As a workaround, you can set any full-display resolution you want by enabling the fullscreen autofit guest option in the host, and then switching to fullscreen. It's necessry to install VMware Tools and the guestd_patches for fit-guest/autofit-guest to work.
