I've noticed, that this Problem only apperes, if i'm working with multiple Workspaces in gnome. Usualy, i've put the VM on the Second Workspaces. Since i left the VM on the first Workspace (so, total one Workspace), this Problem won't accure. Before, this happened after about 1h. This is what i can say after about 8h of work. To be sure, i will test this furthermore.
** Description changed: 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: + only way to resolve this is to close the VM (or suspend and resume) and + start it again until this happens again. At the moment, this happened, + the following appears in the dmesg log: [Fr Feb 5 23:32:21 2021] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Resetting rcs0 for preemption time out [Fr Feb 5 23:32:21 2021] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] vmx-mks[7873] context reset due to GPU hang [Fr Feb 5 23:32:21 2021] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] GPU HANG: ecode 9:1:85dffffb, in vmx-mks [7873] I can prove, this always appears when the described bug appears.
