[Bug 1339768] [NEW] VMWare graphics driver regression

 

Public bug reported:

When running under VMWare (tested VMWare player 6.0.2) the display does
not resize correctly. Once the screen width reaches  800 pixels wide it
starts to show the same contents again.

The attached screenshot shows the problem.
