Description Vít Ondruch 2016-09-20 06:22:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
When I enable 'Auto resize VM with window' option in my virtmanager, the VM is flickering and is basically unusable. At the same time, I can see a lot of messages in my journal:

```

```

It seems that the screen is flickering with the same frequency as this messages appear in the log.
