No.

No.

Longer version: I run VMware3 on FreeBSD 6.2 host that has a dual-monitors 
under Xinerama, and it works fine.  One thing you have to be aware of is that 
there is a very small set of resolutions that the VMware driver understands.  
I would not be surprised if the one you are trying does not work.  Remember 
this is an old product, and eight years ago there were not 1900x1200 monitors 
in routine use.

I would suggest you first try 1024x768 (or whatever the standard is) or 
1280x1024 and get that to work.  If it does, then this is the issue.  Once
that is sorted out, you can investigate the resolutions the driver accepts.
