Fusion 2 and unorthodox multi-screen configurations

General information

-


In Fusion 1.x, I've managed to work around the limitation of single display using a USB video adapter connected to the virtual machine. Worked surprisingly well and after seeing some performance issues with version 2.0, I decided to stay with 1.1.3 for awhile.

Today, I upgraded to 2.0.2 and I am happy to say that performance problems have disappeared. I have therefore been primed and ready to try the double support native monitor.

I used successfully screen of the MacBook Pro and a monitor connected to the DVI port. Very good, I like.

But I also have a second LCD monitor hooked up to the USB adapter, and it's wherever I meet trouble.

A momentary digression

-


With the card attached to the Mac USB, the setting "Use all displays full-screen" simply does not work, and due to the limitations of the Mac DisplayLink drivers, the virtual machine is too slow on the USB Monitor anyway. So relying on the Mac for lead all three screens is a non-runner - but I was ready for it.  :|

The problem at hand

-


This has left me speechless, it's that I can't return to my former arrangement. When I reinstall the USB adapter to the virtual computer and extend the Windows desktop (I'm even not attempt to use "Use all displays full screen," because I know it will be too weird for words), I find that I can't move my mouse on the secondary monitor. All sides of the main screen are impenetrable, with or without svga.noHWCursor = 'TRUE '.

Curiously, I can send windows to the other screen using certain features of UltraMon, if it is available for Windows. But I'm limited to interact with it using the keyboard. I guess there are some collisions here between Windows Media Monitor and Fusion, and my poor mouse is to take the shot.

Short of attaching a mouse directly to the virtual machine (yuck), is there a way around this? Is there a VMX parameter which would disable the feature in Fusion 2 multi-screen display, or what I need to get off the virtual machine or back to the 1.x version of VMware tools?

It would be a shame - otherwise I like 2.0.2.

I don't think that there is a setting to revert to the behavior of 1.x, display management is not something that you can easily swap. I think you're right about the gap between what Fusion think is the usable area and what the customer thinks is usable as the cause of the observed behavior.

  • Is it possible to do full screen Windows Media Center (native) on a monitor while being able to use the other monitors in a multi-screen configuration?

    Personally, I have a dual monitor situation, and sometimes I would watch television on an all always doing work on the other. If I maximize the Media Center window it will display full-screen on one monitor but it disables all features on the other. The only way for everyone is stretching as it can on the monitor/display without infringing the workspace of the other monitor, but it is ineffective because it does not display the full screen to a native resolution.

    If there is not a current solution for this, then it must be addressed by the engineers of Windows like watch TV on the computer, and multi-monitor configurations are becoming increasingly important in the houses.
    I appreciate the help. Thank you!
    Another Windows user

    After you start your support, press alt + tab to exit the Media Center window. Media Center will stay full screen play the media, and you can use the main screen as usual.

    This works better if Media Center is on the second screen without the taskbar.

  • Full-screen Fusion VM and Mountain Lion

    After the update to Lion mountains (running Fusion 4.1.3), I was unable to run my Windows 7 VM in full screen mode and use the two forms.

    What seems to happen is that Fusion moves to the main screen to a second space, but the background on the secondary display is the canvas on the second screen.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled VMware tools and tried sharing my primary/secondary displays on Mac OS.

    If I look into the mission control, the secondary display is placed on 1 desktop instead of space that creates the merger.

    We are aware of a problem with Mountain Lion full-screen windows on the wrong space and are working on a solution.

  • No multi-screen HTML5 option is displayed in the presentation of single Source after the upgrade of RH9 project

    I opened my RH10 project and updated. Now when it opens, there is no other choice for Multiscreen HTML5 in the project settings or control panel available to Source monkey. The project has been generated/unreleased using WebHelp, but the idea was to be able to move in multi-monitor configurations. Any suggestions?

    Answered my own question. I went project Set-up/screen layouts, right click, chose the new provision of the screen and all added one by one. Then single Source layouts, right-click, new layout and choose Multiscreen HTML5 in the output Type.

    Not as easy to convert as I would have thought/expected so I'm leaving this here to help someone else.

  • To work with a SAN and vMotion virtual servers configuration

    Hi all:

    I apologize in advance if this discussion is too much like another.

    I intend to use the following configuration (not yet deployed) and would appreciate your comments and input:

    2 physical host servers running VMware ESXi

    1 SAN Fiber Channel

    high availability and vMotion

    I just have a few questions:

    (1) then I keep all the VHD on the SAN files?  (I intend to have VHD files separate OS disk and DATA drive for each virtual computer).

    (2) is it recommended that I have all the hard drives the on host computers physical (to run virtual machines or anything else like swap files)?

    (3) how much space I have on the SAN?  I guess too much for the readers of the OS and DATA readers of all virtual machines... it's any additional space recommended for anything?

    (4) everyone would be able to direct me towards guides describing how to set up?

    Sincerely,

    Kahn

    (1) then I keep all the VHD on the SAN files?  (I intend to have VHD files separate OS disk and DATA drive for each virtual computer).

    Yes you can, and just a tip, on VMware world the virtual disk is called VMDK :-)

    (2) is it recommended that I have all the hard drives the on host computers physical (to run virtual machines or anything else like swap files)?

    You can use the same physical host computers without the hard drive, because you can boot from SAN, or use features such as automatic deployment, but it is the facility for the virtual machine, my recommendation is to use disks (volumes) of your San and share this volumes between your hosts to be able to configure High Availability (HA). Without shared storage, you can not HA.

    (3) how much space I have on the SAN?  I guess too much for the readers of the OS and DATA readers of all virtual machines... it's any additional space recommended for anything?

    Space on SAN depends on the size of your virtual machines and little extra space to make room for Exchange and snapshot files.

    (4) everyone would be able to direct me towards guides describing how to set up?

    The documentation will have everything you need: VSphere 6.0 Documentation Center , but if you want some guide step by step and with video/screen, see this one: BackToBasics | Mike Landry...

  • VMX file is corrupted after installing Fusion 6 and Windows 7

    Please could someone help? I did the installation tonight of Fusion 6 and Windows 7 on a Mac with the Mavericks. Everything was fine until I stopped melting earlier. I went back to try to connect to windows, and I get corrupted file VMX. I looked in the Knowledge Base, and I tried the suggestions I could find, but now I'm afraid, I could really do more harm then good. Please any help would be appreciated.

    Have you tried to change the screen resolution in Windows?

    Or try activating / disabling the display settings in the Virtual Machine settings, uncheck 'Use the full resolution for the Retina display' and 'automatically adjust the size of user interface in Windows. Restart Windows, and then recheck the settings.

  • Support multi-screen in mode 4

    I was under the impression that view 4 was going to be true instead of the multi-monitor support rdp version and using splitview.  We were waiting for version 4 so we could ride on all desktop computers, and I still don't.  In fact, when I choose multi-monitor it won't cover even two monitos now.  Someone at - it ideas?

    In this capture customer screen display is running in windowed mode and it would not use or adapt to mutimonitor as the application window is treated as a solid glass.

    In the capture of the attached screen shots you will notice I have spin a session which begins in multi-screen, changes of are displayed and finally back to multiscreen as follows.

    Start view customer / login / multimonitor desktop selection / select / select Connect (PCoIP is my default)

    See screen-one shot

    I can take this mode session window as yours, by selecting exit full screen in the bar of the shadow. As you can see, the View Client is running in windowed mode and adjusted the desktop virtual to fit the window and tilted in single display mode resolution.

    See screen-two screenshot

    I also took a third page where I manually expanded the Client of the view window on the two screens of my client. As you can see, even when he has automatically adjusted for virtual the desktop resolution to match the new size of the window.

    See screenshot screen-three

    This is the expected behavior in this multi-screen intervenes only when you start a session in multi-screen mode. It does not knock when you are in windowed mode. Looking for multimonitor when running in windowed mode?

    Affects your screenshot, it appears that the resolution has not been reset or adjust which is an indication that the multimon parameters have not always taken. The virtual machine must be powered down at least once after the changes. Did you turn off the power or reset / reboot? A reset/reboot will not work.

    see you soon,

    Hello, Kristian,.

    AC2 negates the need to have a configuration of account iTunes\AppleID on each device, can I ask why you wanted to do this, there may be a better way? ipads how are you trying to install? ipad users can add their own iTunes account to download other additional applications then deployed via the configurator.
