steve1977 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I now did the step and successfully installed Win8.1. Was quite surprised that this went rather easy. I have a few questions though: 1) I am using VNC to access the VM. Unfortunately, I cannot use my mouse remotely through VNC. How can I enable this? 2) VNC is not full-screen. Possible?

steve1977 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 I think I found the issue. I am accessing my VM over a notebook with touchscreen and noVNC defaults to touch-use. Any chance for a bug fix for the next release? Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 any thoughts on above? would love to use my mouse when accessing the VM through noVNC. Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I found a patch in below thread. Any chance one of the developers can look into whether this could be patched for Unraid? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/novnc/bOpKeuZCd7s Quote Link to comment
tr0910 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Try rdp, much better, but still not perfect. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Looking into this... We are including a noVNC upgrade in the next release. Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 Fantastic, thanks so much!!! Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 You may also be able to edit the VM XML and delete this line: <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> Let me know if that works... Quote Link to comment
steve1977 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 I deleted it, but unfortunately this did not change anything. It is not too urgent, so I can wait for the next release if you are upgrading noVNC anyways. Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I deleted it, but unfortunately this did not change anything.

peter_sm Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I also have problems with the mouse lag over VNC on 6.1-rc5 i have also removed this line <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> but no changing in mouse behavior. EDIT Using TightVNC Viewer the mouse are OK. //Peter Quote Link to comment
jonp Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 We are also experimenting with SPICE and QXL, but its not going to be a short term item for implementation. Some more work ahead of us on that just yet. Quote Link to comment

That said, I will do some more research to see what we can do to fix. Quote Link to comment
yesiliketacos Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 For anyone looking for an answer to this--it does seem to be touch screen related. I cannot use a mouse over VNC on either my surface or Chromebook(both touch screen), but I can on my T1700. That's all using Chrome. Firefox works on all devices though! Quote Link to comment
leejbarker Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have this problem with my Chromebook, therefore installing Firefox isn't really an option for me... Any ideas? Quote Link to comment

leejbarker Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) I have come up with a workaround and it's a fairly smooth experience but not perfect. Would be no good for gaming etc but it works. Set up Chrome Remote Desktop on the VM and then log in via that... Would also work from any device with Chrome etc Edited December 31, 2017 by leejbarker Quote Link to comment
