I���m running Tumbleweed updated to latest versions, but I keep getting these
crashes of the machine �����especially shortly after running Yast to check for
updates, running zypper up from the commandline, running Gnome Package Updater,
or waking the VM from suspension.

I have the Tumbleweed installation installed in a VM in VMware Fusion 7.1.1
(Mac).

The error messages is always the same:
[ 2061.NNNNNN ] [drm:vmw_generic_ioctl [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Dropped master trying
to access ioctl that requires authentication.

This error appears, repeating itself, but in varying frequency from incident to
incident. Sometime I can manage to shift to another TTY, login to root and
reboot. Other times the messages are so fast I can only restart the VM (please
see attached screenshot).

NB: I am running the latest Tumbleweed Gnome when this happens, but I have to
login using Gnome under Xorg, because in Wayland the open-vm-tools does not let
me change the screen resolution to the actual resolution (it doesn���t exist
under Wayland), not does the dynamic adaptive adjustment of resolution work.
Since this issue with Wayland is also present in eg. Fedora 22 running as a VM
in VMware Fusion, I have reported it to the open-vmware-tools github:
