I'm having trouble using VNC to remotely control a VMWare session.
When the screen changes on the VMWare guest machine, those screen
repaints are not reflected across the VNC connection. Instead, I need
to move the mouse around the area of the screen occupied by the VMWare
display in order to force the VNC viewer to refresh the display.
Another suboptimal workaround is that I can tell the VNC Viewer to
Refresh screen in order to force the VNC viewer to repaint the
entire screen of the VMWare guest machine.
I'm using default settings for VNC and the versions of VNC / VMWare
that I am running are as follows:
VNC Viewer machine:
Windows XP SP1
VNC Viewer 4.0
VNC Server machine (also the VMWare host operating system):
Windows XP SP1
VNC Server 3.3.6
VMWare Workstation 4.5.2
VMWare Guest operating system
Windows XP SP1
Has anyone else encountered this problem and know how to fix it?
My workaround would be to install vnc in the vmware-guest too and use that.
If this is a professional situation (you are willing to spend some money) then
vmware-gsx is an option, it provides the vmware-console: kind of like a
vnc-session to the guest but with access to all virtual harware too.
