How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run vmware player 2. run rhel 6.8 as VM 3. choose from menu: Virtual Machine -> Enter Full Screen 4. go to the toolbar, which is placed in the middle of the upper part of screen 5. click on little monitor icon Actual results: Second monitor is not initiated, mouse click are bit misplaced (clicks are not exactly in place where pointer is) Expected results: Should toggle on second monitor and mouse should work properly.

Hi, Martin I am a virt QE, Need your help to confirm something. Q1. which Vmware product was used in your environment? VMware Workstation and VMware Fusion or vShpere? I tested with 2 displays in vSphere, need hope it was useful for this issue, not clear they were the same issues ENV: Host: ESXi5.5 Guest: RHEL7.3 xorg-x11-drv-vmware: 13.0.2-7 VMWGFX: 2.10.0.0 Steps: 1. Connected two display to Guest 2. Set "Number of displays" to 2 3. Set "Total video memory" to 128 4. Boot Guest Results: 1. After step 4: a. RHEL7 "Virtual Machine Console" can detect display-1. b. Drag "Virtual Machine Console" to display-2, that was ok. c. Full Screen "Virtual Machine Console" in diplay-2, lead to "Virtual Machine Console" becoming full screen in display-1, and the "Virtual Machine Console" in display-2 still was the original size, mouse / keyboard didn't work Thanks
Hello boyang, I am looking to your reproducer and same as you I am not sure if we are testing the same features. I reported the bug a while ago so I am not sure about all the details but from my perspective we are using totally different envinronments. Q1: I was using RHEL 6.8 on both guest and hosts and I was using VMware player which I believe is the only one product which I have access to (I am not sure about that). In my case the display-2 wasn't working at all and the input (mouse/keyboard) was working but was working incorrectly. Therefore I think that in this case it might not be the same issue but I am not sure because I don't have the access to environment that was affected by this issue right now and setup would require some time. I also think that we used different version of xorg packages that might be the reason why are the results different: xorg-x11-drv-vmware-13.1.0-2.el6.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-vmware: 13.0.2-7 I am not sure if any of above helps, issue you are describing looks like a different one to me. Please let me know how I can help further.
