Public bug reported: when running karmic beta and vmware server 2.0 and viewing the guest virtual machine xp in vmware console the mouse is dropped at the screen edge when screen resolution in the guest is greater the 640 by 480. the mouse will flash on and off and the numlock key will flash on and off as the mouse is moved outside of the 640 by 480 screen size.
this makes mouse control so bad as to be basically unusable to use vmware. http://communities.vmware.com/thread/235572?tstart=0 this is what i have been experiencing. they say it is a problem with gtk solution is too roll back to the earlier version 2.16.6?? not sure how you can do that in ubuntu. Quote: http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?o...&topic=63219.0 Apparently there is some sort of change in these packages that cause problems with the plugin. This problem is effected by Kubuntu 9.10 as well (after all updates). Apparently rolling back fixes the mouse focus problem. gtk+2.0 (version 2.18.1-1pclos2009) downgraded to version 2.16.6-3pclos2009 libgdk_pixbuf2.0_0 (version 2.18.1-1pclos2009) downgraded to version 2.16.6-3pclos2009 libgtk+-x11-2.0_0 (version 2.18.1-1pclos2009) downgraded to version 2.16.6-3pclos2009 libgtk+2.0_0 (version 2.18.1-1pclos20092.16.6-3pclos2009) downgraded to version 2.16.6-3pclos2009 ** Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- wmware console mouse movement drops mouse at screen edge https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/460531 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
