Kernel 5.19.0-42 onward crashes with VMSVGA + 3D acceleration

[Lassi]

KDE Neon 5.27 (Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy)

Kernel:
linux-image-5.19.0-43-generic

Steps to reproduce:
0. Install KDE Neon into Virtualbox
1. Install kernel version 5.19.0-42 or -43 (-generic)
2. Boot the system
3. Log in to KDE desktop
4. Try and open a window or right-click on the desktop

Expected outcome:
A window opens, or a desktop context menu opens

Actual outcome:
- opening a window: X server crashes. Logging in again and opening a window: system crash
- opening a desktop context menu: desktop crashes, after that system freezes

Additional info:
- dmesg shows a kernel crash trace
- kernel 5.19.0-38-generic works OK.

Cannot open application windows, as already stated in the bug description, the window or the whole desktop crashes.

Journalctl excerpt from crash tonight, starts around line 1716:

kesä 01 21:57:26 neon kaccess[1218]: The X11 connection broke (error 1). Did the X11 server die?

Dmesg around last night's crash. Might be IRRELEVANT?

Can reproduce the exact same issue on Feren OS 2023.07 Alpha 2, with the exact same kernel version causing the issue and the exact same last working kernel version as the OP states.

For Feren OS, it triggers upon a window spawning in KDE Plasma.

A friend of mine also just reproduced the same issue just now on Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (a fresh Ubuntu 22.04.2 installation with kubuntu-desktop installed onto it, more-so) using VMWare 16.

[feren (ferenos)]

Upon further investigation, this is an issue that the package "xserver-xorg-video-vmware" causes to start happening, as on a perfectly fine working Kubuntu 22.04 installing that package only, and restarting, causes the issue to be immediately reproducible, versus non-reproducible without that package being installed.

Can no longer reproduce on Kernel 6.2.
