Connecting to Mac that is running VMWare Fusion

[babbtong]

Hello,

I’m connecting to a Mac running 10.8.5 from a Windows 7 machine, and that works fine.  However, from within that Mac, I am also running a VMWare Fusion instance with Windows 7.  When I’m connected with NoMachine to the Mac from my physical Windows box, and I have the VM running, the VM console screen does not redraw automatically.  Meaning, it won’t show any changes to the screen unless I move the mouse around, or the entire VM screen.  It seems then the pixels are forced to refresh.  Anybody know why this is?  I’m not sure if this is just a Mac issue, but I wasn’t sure where to post this so I chose this subforum.  Sorry if it’s in the wrong place!

Hi babbtong,

we were not able to reproduce the described issue with the same platforms. Can you please tell us:

1) Are you connecting to a headless Mac (no monitor plugged)? If yes, is it possible to try with a monitor attached?

2) Is 3D acceleration enabled in VMWare Fusion? Can you try to tweak this setting?

3) What is the version of VMWare Fusion?

4) Does the whole VMWare screen refresh when you pass the mouse over it, or only the pixels under the mouse pointer?
