See the "How to get a core file out of the X server?" section of the
Xenocara README [1].  You can then load Xorg and the core file into
gdb/lldb.  I think ports egdb may do better in some cases? Others who
are more knowledgeable can weigh in on that.

Potential workarounds: use the "vesa" X driver instead of "vmware"?  I
think VBox supports that but I don't remember.  Another option is
efifb/wsfb, which of course requires configuring the VM for UEFI mode
and reinstalling.  Both probably have lower performance though.
