Arch Linux

Description: If the VMware Player window is resized, logout or shutdown hangs. Only option is to force a shutdown of the VM.

There is a fix available upstream http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vmware/commit/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_saa.c?id=32562129750077a23f26f2e69adc8403eb24bf3f

Also see this diskussion on the Debian Bugtracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=765490

I applied the patch locally and can confirm that it solves the issue.
