[Kamal Mostafa <kamal@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm unable to reproduce this.  With either Unity or XFCE desktop,
resizing the VMWare Player window works okay for me.  I'm using the same
3.13.0-30.55 kernel (on both host and guest), but my VMware Player is
newer: "6.0.3 build-1895310".

Daniel, please update your VMWare Player to that version and check
whether the problem persists.

That said, I notice this commit, recently added to mainline, which
modifies the patch you identified as the problem (2a4faaba in trusty):

  (mainline)  4e57808 drm/vmwgfx: Fix incorrect write to read-only register v2:
  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=4e578080

Daniel, can you try applying that (along with the problem 2a4faaba
commit)...  Does that fix it?

Bug description:
  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.
