Oracle Linux 8 on vmware issues

4079537Sep 5 2019 — edited Sep 18 2019

Hello, we are trying out Oracle Linux 8 on Vmware 6.5 and are having some strange issues.  

1) Gnome display resolution will not hold after a reboot.  We set it to 1280x768  and after a reboot it reverts back to 800x600.  Any ideas ?

2) Opening multiple text files in different workspaces - if I have gedit open in ws-1 then open one in ws-2 the text file will open in a tab in gedit on ws-1.  Tried a few things to get gedit to open in a separate window each time, but it's not working.

3) Is there a tool for modifying the boot menu kernel options ?   Not sure where to make changes in the grub2 configuration files.   looking to add vga=791  to increase the post screen window.

Thanks
