Multi monitor mouse bug with virtual display

In my computer (8.0.4 build-744019), if you have several configured monitors and then dynamically add another exhibition, the location of the mouse real discrepancy between the mouse cursor for screens other than the first screen.  This has been a problem for some time and it seems there's always a problem.  I used several tools for this in the past, all with the same results.  Currently I am the do with REDFLY ScreenSlider which allows me to use my android as a monitor via wifi device.  When I connect with the new monitor on the right of the other monitors (all are aligned at the top), it works fine.  However, the mouse is shifted a little on all, but left the larger screen.  Something like a few hundred pixels.

Of course, this looks like a bug so I reported.  I'm hoping someone VMWare could confirm this as a problem and give me an idea of if / when it will be fixed.

Have you tried to put the Edit\Preferences\Input to "Optimize the mouse for games" = always?

  • the mouse no longer works in certain combinations of power/multi monitor

    Win 7 32 bit ASUS EEE PC laptop.  Worked normally up to today.

    Battery, mouse (touchpad) works very well.  When I plug in the power supply, the mouse stops (always displays right click context menu).

    By chance discovered that with a second monitor mouse moves ok on battery or AC power.  (I use multiple monitors on a regular basis).

    It seems that no matter how I get to the single monitor on power mode, the mouse stops.  If I am autonomous on battery and add HQ, the mouse stops.  If I have a second monitor attached during an AC, even in single monitor mode (i.e. on the LCD of the PC screen), simply unplug the monitor causes the mouse to stop moving.

    It looks like a problem of "state machine".  As if a program setting got out of sync so that the PC goes in power state AC stand alone, movement of the mouse is disabled.  I'm puzzled - I have never seen anything like this.  I did a system restore to several days ago, with no impact.

    Any ideas appreciated.

    Best regards

    Hi Deepak, and all those who may read this,

    In response to your questions: (1) no change except for a new PSU (which is relevant, as noted below), (2) not built in touchpad Synaptics.

    Thank you very much for your detailed response confirming the troubleshooting steps.  I actually tried these.  It turns out that only this morning that I was able to confirm what the problem was.  As strong as it is to believe, the power supply is at fault, but it's subtle.

    The original forum post does not include the fact that the problem was known then on the campus, which is important.  I have 2 different power supplies (various manufacturers).  Both work very well at home; but one of them the cause of the problem of the mouse on the campus.

    I never heard of such a problem given that the design of power supply is done enough these days, but it appears among the supplies allows something through the computer that inhibits the operation of the mouse.  It is difficult to imagine that this is a power level; Maybe it's a kind of transmission high frequency bearing on the logic of material for the mouse.  When the external monitor is plugged into the campus electronic context changes and the problem disappears.

    For any other person who have this problem I would suggest trying to use the PC on the current in a different location, or use a different power plug at the same place.

  • See 4.5 true multi-monitor with RDP7?

    I read this in the guide of the administrator on the page 17: ' Microsoft RDP provides the following features: you can use more than one monitor in span mode '

    and this page 21:

    In a real session of multiple monitors, monitors can have sizes and different resolutions, and a monitor can be

    has rotated. If you enlarge within an application window, the window expands to the full-screen only the monitor

    that contains it.

    This feature has the following limitations:

    n the maximum number of monitors that lets you view a desktop is 10 If you are using the RDP Protocol

    view the Protocol and 4 If you are using PCoIP.

    n If you are using the Microsoft RDP display protocol, you must have Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)

    version 6.0 or later installed in the desktop view.

    I'm not completely sure if I read this right, but it seems that true multimonitor is NOT available with RDP. Even if Windows 7 and the last DRC have no problem with that at all. Can someone confirm (or reject if all goes well) that this is the case. I really prefer to use RDP, but I need the true multi-monitor.

    Kind regards

    You need on the client, you connect from version 7.  Version 7 comes with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.  You can download version 7 for XP and Vista.

    I wish version Mac was up to 7 and I wish THAT WYSE would improve their RDP to 7.

    Windows does not allow you this. However, you might be able to find a
    third party program that could do this.

  • Help with VM monitoring parameter at the virtual machine level

    Hi, I'm new to powershell and got the script (from http://damiankarlson.com/2011/01/13/managing-vmware-has-vm-monitoring-powercli/ thanks Damian Karlson) that will allow me to set the "VM Monitoring" setting for each virtual computer in a cluster to 'Disabled' below State. This is necessary to allow a 'monitoring VM and application' at the highest level and keep only selective VMs allowed for surveillance. When I run this script, it is applied VM1. When I try to do this for another virtual machine with a virtual machine name change (VM2), it get error "specified parameter was not correct" in the tasks of vCenter.

  • Should I set up my Dell 3008 in Adobe RGB monitor mode when calibrating it with i1 Display?

    Hello

    Should I set up my Dell 3008 in Adobe RGB monitor mode when calibrating it with i1 Display?

    Thank you

    Thomas

    It depends entirely on what application you use to view the file. That's the key. Without - a complete remapping in the monitor profile - color management is displayed correctly. Yet once, IE is useless and you can just forget about it. Use Firefox with color management mode 1.

    With a standard range screen you out without color succeed because the monitor is pretty close to sRGB it will be roughly right, as long as the file has number of sRGB. That's why sRGB became the standard of the internet.

    But if you have a string of color management complete the source profile may be what you want and the monitor can be standard or wide or whatever it is between the two and it will display properly without worrying. That's the whole point of the color management - a color space (the file) be remapped in the other (the monitor).

  • Multi-monitor 7 VMWare Fusion is improved from 6?

    Hello VMWare,

    Currently if you google "VMware Fusion 7 multi-monitor Support" this thread is the best result:

    https://communities.VMware.com/thread/458878?start=0 & tstart = 0

    In this thread, the top answer is a VMWare employee is studying ways to improve multi-monitor support VMWare Fusion. It's been a year, and you have now unlocked a new major version, to what you ask me to pay to upgrade.  I guess that these issues have been addressed, but I see no reference to improvements in this regard on the VMWare Fusion 7 product pages.

    Can you please address the following two questions, which are massive trouble when using Fusion 6 (and I want to emphasize, nor issue seems to affect your competing product Parallels):

    1. If you have more than two monitors (three for example), can you use Fusion 7 full screen but use only 2 screens instead of the 3? In fusion 6, you can use one or ALL, I really hope that this behavior is changed.
    2. When you use a display fullscreen VM on several monitors with the new behavior of multiscreen fullscreen introduced in Mavericks, can you change the space of one of your monitors away from the virtual machine and then on another monitor always displays the virtual machine, interact with the virtual machine without the spaces on your other monitors to return to space the VM?

    If you can confirm that the issues have been addressed, I fortunately modernize today.  If not, you clearly that this support is a reason some not a priority for VMWare and I go to Parallels, after buying the latest 3 versions of VMWare and be a happy customer otherwise.

    Thank you for your answer!

    They do not react because the answer is that they did not have * nothing * to improve their software in this regard.

    You better buy Parallels, making these two things well.  Even if the product windows VMWare offers this kind of behavior of multi-monitor, they are apparently not interested in doing the same thing on their OS X product.  I'm not interested in waiting around for them to recognize it as a priority, so I switched to Parallels.

  • Restrict the mouse in the virtual machine window

    Hello

    I'm on a Setup dual monitor.  Is it possible to limit the pointer of the mouse in the VMWare window, while I use it?  I read that you can uninstall VMTools to do, but I would rather not go too far.

    Thank you.

    Pat

    Under normal circumstances without VMware Tools installed should click in the view of the Virtual Machine so that it (the Virtual Machine) to capture the keyboard and mouse input and with VMware Tools installed all we need to do is right-click the virtual machine screen and captures automatically entered.  So without VMware Tools installed on must press a combination of keysCtrl + command() () for the Virtual Machine display release (ungrab) the keyboard and the mouse in the virtual machine.

    On my system with 'Always optimize the mouse for games' selected, I have to manually ungrab the mouse and keyboard of the VM to have a control outside of the Virtual Machine (or return on the Mac side).  The value default entry selected (automatic mouse for games) is automatically entered/ungrabbed as the mouse is moved to the edge of the screen of the virtual machine.

    If the behavior that I have just described does not work on your system I not sure why what I have described is not something default behavior which is just supposed to act than anything on my system, however the parameter added to preferences file may or not help but I guess it's worth a try.

    pref.motionUngrab = "FALSE"
    

    With the VM within the guest operating system stop, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed, add the parameter above to the "${USER} / Users / / Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/preferences ' file.  JSYK this parameter is used in VMware Workstation and can have no effect in VMware Fusion and I mean only that as I have no other suggestions then uninstall VMware Tools.

  • 2015 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz > 16GB RAM 1 TB > PCIe SSD > overheating with Thunderbolt Display 27 "> Constant MAX RPM fan speed

    Hello community,

    First of all, I want to congratulate Apple on the construction of such a laptop well. It is a luxury product that is clearly desired by most people, which I understand very well that he's a new owner. But entering the heart of the problem that I face outside this machine being an external engineering masterpiece.

    Professional background:

    I'm a computer engineer / scientist / programmer by profession. I am currently employed at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as a Senior Consulting Engineer level IV for their BIG Data Software Division. Yes, I program (Java and c#), scripts (powershell, batch and SQL), solutions architect, design, to test software and debugging, implement large enterprise-level solutions ranging from a cluster of 2 mirrors servers-to-of thousands of servers to multiple clusters (even from a perspective of work station of the missions of deployment from 200 KB - to - 50 jobs in the world) work with SQL databases on a daily basis, working with storage devices (SAN mutli-million dollar NAS and DAS), provide an infrastructure troubleshooting and problem resolution, have 8 international recognised certifications, a degree of master of science and involved with concerts on the side as well as build computers as a hobby. My computer knowledge is vast and my RESUME goes beyond what I have briefly described. It is important that I give this background to demonstrate that my level of computer knowledge is beyond the scope of this post.

    Laptop Usecase:

    Recently I bought mid-2015 Macbook Pro 15 "2.8 GHz Intel i7 quad core, AMD dedicated GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 1 Portable SSD PCIe TB from an authorized Apple dealer. To maximize the beauty of this gem, I also bought a monitor Thunderbolt Apple 27 "due to its ability to offer a dedicated gigabit NIC and additional USB connectors. Basically, the screen acts as a central docking for the laptop and offers additional i/o that does not have the laptop (somewhat a disappointment that it's called a 'PRO' for laptop - this can be discussed in an extra thread).

    I will mostly use the laptop for tasks related to work as operating on dozens of remote servers via RDP, using office 2011 and 2016 Lync, Eclipse for Java programming, access the HPE intranet for related tasks at work, set up conference calls, connection with clients remotely via WebEx or TeamViewer and typical everyday computing. For fun, I'll use the laptop to compose music through Logic Pro X, browsing the Web, doing work with Photoshop/Lightroom/and other products Adobe, Web browsing, Email, Youtube, NetFlix, coding, and other basis for computing tasks.

    Question:

    I am primarily an engineer Windows to the heart and don't work well with Unix/Linux, so forgive me if certain acronyms and terminology is slightly outside when it comes to the OS.

    The question that I am currently facing is how HOT and high cell phone VOICE gets during very little use. It seems that, given the 27 "Apple Thunderbolt connected display cause heating and the fans to be excessive and loud. 'A little' work around the question I unplugged the lightning poster power adapter and have dedicated the trendy laptop adapter. It 'a bit' reduces the amount of heat generated, which reduces the speed of the fan to be a little less quiet. However, the noise level of fans and heat is not reduced enough to convince me!

    After the control process during the time of the laptop being extremely strong and warm, I noticed the only vivid process is the process of "kernel_task". However, I debunked this theory by leaving the unit to return to a normal state, that required me disconnected the Thunderbolt display, and the process ran again without all the negative effects of heat and noise.

    So, why Apple would create a laptop that indicates the external monitor is fully compatible, can support up to 2 external displays with no problems and provides a support for this configuration, if there are any other problems when connecting?


    * Please do not provide responses that I have received a bad laptop or a bad monitor. Appears not to be the case because when I am doing absolutely nothing on the machine, heat is minimal and the fans are 'enough' quiet, even when connected to the Thunderbolt display. However, even simple web browsing on the Thunderbolt display forces do MAX out fans and heat is generated quickly.

    I love this laptop. His elegant, fun to work on, is luxurious and is a potential item that meets all my needs. But I just can't justify spending more than $4 K on a configuration that will cause problems and significantly reduce the lifetime of the laptop.

    1 should I return the laptop and love at first sight appear and waiting for Skylake edition which will be released in the coming months (energy consumption reduced, rising in power and performance, and (?) one possible different GPU that excels much better than 'crap' AMD GPU?

    2. or should I paste and see if a solution or resolution is proposed to the issues that I am experiencing?

    3. I see the same problems all over the internet. Anyone else here has the same problems?

    4. why Apple would invest in this GPU 'cheap' for such a machine power? AMD? Really? (< (less="" than)="" $150="">

    5. How can I host a Lync call with clients when I hear more the laptop that I can hear them?

    My thoughts:

    I spent $6 000.00 on the construction of an incredible machine at home. It has an Intel i7 5960 X Octa-Core processor, nVidia GTX 980, 64 GB RAM Corsair DDR4, 12 TB of disk 7200 RPM, a 512GB SSD for the OS and temporary storage, power 1200 Watt, card reader 5 in 1, a player Blu Ray optical blazing fast, liquid cooling, a Premium Asus Sound Card, the card mother 'best!' on the market (I finished this statement that fans just went back to MAX RPM0 - maybe) because I'm throwing my personal build an Apple forum?), a mechanical keyboard, mouse laser with 12 K dpi and five monitors 24 ".

    I was willing to spend that money on a laptop of luxury that I can travel with, but is it really worth what I'm going through? Also, others on the Internet said they have returned their Macbook Pro for the same model without the dedicated GPU and no longer meet the problem. BUT why someone would invest $3 K in a machine without a good graphics card? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU! Can someone help APPLE me this question?

    If I am not convinced to the contrary, Apple then lost me as a customer forever and return to Windows, I oppose the $4 500.00 I spent. If I am convinced to stay, then Apple will get $4K out of me at all times every 3-4 years, I invested in most any software.

    Also, if I can post a video showing you what I'm listening to, then you will be in shock. Honestly, I'd like to keep this machine, but I need help to understand what is happening and what can be done to correct the problem.

    Thank you

    Everyone from Apple have a preview? I am pretty surprised to have not received a response.

    Please help me out here.

  • Multi-monitor (PCoIP) and Windows 7

    Greetings,

    We try to test 2 months see 4 but one of the problems is that when trying to connect to a virtual from Windows 7 computer in mode multiscreen we get just black 2 screens and after a few seconds that it disconnects and View Client closes.

    Anyone who manages to get multi-screen working for Windows 7 clients? I tried to increase the memory to 128 MB vram.

    Multimonitor works without any problem when you connect to a Windows XP client.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bram

    I had exactly the same problem and it is resolved.  You can read the complete demo that I did here:

    http://communities.VMware.com/blogs/gunnarb/2010/01/26/PCoIP-review

    However, the quick answer is: uninstall vmware tools, uninstall agent from view of the guest operating system.  Reinstall the tools then agent.  See if you can connect to the base image (we're not done linked clones).  Also, everything I care at this point is that you get a single monitor to work.

    Once you can connect to Windows 7 with a single monitor, go into Device Manager to uninstall your graphics driver and replace this drive with the driver found SVGA C:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers do not use the pilot of MCDA.  With the SVGA driver in place, you will get multi-monitor support.  Also it will fix the annoying UAC question and issues of screen saver.

    A problem with this solution is that it is not supported and has experienced problems with BSOD, but you get a multi-monitor VM work.  Once you have all that in place, go ahead and do your linked clone stuff.

  • Re: Satellite P300 - conflict with the display driver

    Yesterday, I suddenly had a conflict with my display driver. While working on my laptop, a blue screen appeared and then the screen went black and stayed like that. When you use an external monitor, it is possible to start in SafeMode (in normal mode, a blue screen appears). It is possible that a Windows Update has occurred, but I can nog
    cancel anything (no Windows recovery point).

    I uninstalled the display driver and downloaded the latest version, but it doesn't seem to help. Reinstalling Windows won't work or the other cause the installation DVD detects a hardware error (the display driver).

    Does anyone knows how to fix this?

    Kind regards
    Jeroen

    Hey Buddy,

    > Reinstall Windows won't work or the other cause the installation DVD detects a hardware error (the display driver).
    What Windows disk, you used exactly?
    Normally before starting with the installation of Windows, you must format the hard disk and create partitions. If everything is clean at the disk Windows installation starts.

    I advise to use the Toshiba recovery disc. This disk can restore the original settings of the case and before Installation starts the drive HARD to wipe completely.

  • New monitor S2031 incompatible with new Pavilion P7 - 1108P?

    I recently bought a Pavilion P7 - 1108P with Windows 7 (64) for use with an HP S2031 LCD monitor 9 for my accountant home based business. The Pavilion has an AMD A4 - 3400 APU with Radeon HD graphics card. There is no VGA port at the back of the computer, only two DVI - D ports. I connected the new monitor to the new computer with the single-link DVI cable supplied with the equipment. My problem is with the display; It is huge and pixelated and won't work with the accounting software I need to use. On the page of screen resolution, the display is listed as 1. Monitor Non - Generic PnP "with no other options available, and the resolution is set to 640 x 480 and disabled with no other option." I tried to install the drivers on the CD supplied with the monitor, but nothing changes. I also downloaded the drivers from the HP website for this monitor for Windows 7, but the computer says that it was not properly installed. After three hours on the phone with HP Tech Support, I was told that the monitor was not compatible with the computer. I did my homework before buying, the specifications of this status monitor is it compatible with Windows 7, which miss me so much? Any help would be greatly appreciated... I left my job full time to start this business there are 4 weeks and I need to get up and running as soon as POSSIBLE!

    I have an old 23 "Cinema HD Display, part number M9178LL/A and want to connect it to a recent MacBook Pro 15 inch with Retina display 2104.

    The MacBook Pro has USB, Thunderbolt, and HDMI ports.  I have a crush on Firewire adapter, but I don't know what I need to plug the DVI or if it will work.

    I also remember that years ago Apple sold "docks", so that you can use your laptop with a keyboard and a standard monitor.  Is this always the case?

    If anyone can help?

    Thank you very much.

    Adapt you the Thunderbolt computer monitor DVI connection (use a Mini DisplayPort adapter) or HDMI port. USB and FireWire connections are only needed if you plan to use the screen as a hub.
