Public bug reported: While i am Using Vmware player (open-vm-tools installed), suddenly, the screen start flickering and fully distortion. At this Point, you cant see anything on the VM (because the distortion are so heavy) and the only way to resolve this is to close the VM and start it again until this happens again. At the moment, this happened, the following appears in the dmesg log:
