VMware GSX Server Virtual Machine Guide
to Window option works only if you have the current version of VMware Tools
installed in the guest operating system and you disabled Autofit.
Note: When you choose Fit Guest to Window, VMware GSX Server adjusts the
display settings of your Windows guest operating system as needed. If you
subsequently run the virtual machine in window mode, you may want to change the
display settings back to their previous values.
To get out of quick switch mode, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen to
activate the menu, then choose View > Quick Switch.
Taking Advantage of Multiple Monitors
If your host has a standard multiple monitor display, you can run separate sets of
virtual machines on each of the monitors. To use two monitors, launch two instances
of the VMware Virtual Machine Console. Start one or more virtual machines in each
console window, then drag each console window to the monitor on which you want
to use it. For the largest possible screen display, switch each of the windows to quick
switch mode (View > Quick Switch).
To switch mouse and keyboard input from the virtual machine on the first screen to
the virtual machine on the second screen, move the mouse pointer from one to the
other. You do not need to take any special steps if VMware Tools is running in both
guest operating systems and if you are using the default settings for grabbing input. If
you have changed the defaults, you may need to press Ctrl-Alt to release the mouse
pointer from the first virtual machine, move it to the second virtual machine, then
click in the second virtual machine so it grabs control of mouse and keyboard input.
Note: Multiple monitor support is experimental in this release of VMware GSX Server.
It does not work properly with some third-party desktop management software or
display drivers.
Note: If you switch to full screen mode, VMware GSX Server always uses the primary
display. To use multiple monitors, you must use either the normal (windowed) mode
or quick switch mode.
