The "driver" is not important.  vmwgfx is the video driver used by your guest 
and is
the VMWare-gfx driver. 

The important thing is "wayland server".

Sure....  Remember you're running Fedora in a VMWare Virtual Machine.  VMWare 
is emulating HW.
The mobo VMWare emulates is an Intel 440BX.

So, all the HW that inxi reports is emulated HW.

I think you need to be a bit clearer.

When you run konsole, are you running it in the KDE Plasma Destop or the GNOME 
desktop?

Also, I only keep about 2 weeks of messages from this list on my server so I 
may have forgotten somethings.

I seem to recall you have both GNOME and KDE desktops installed on F31.  So, 
how about trying one more
thing?  Instead of using gdm, switch to sddm.  sddm being the display manager 
supplied by KDE.
Switch by doing

sudo systemctl --force enable sddm

And then reboot.

The inxi -GxxSMza command will should now show "Display: x11 server". 

Then see how your GNOME desktop works.
