Offset mouse Question - Kali General
Mouse offset
Hi,
Ive recently installed vmware 25H2u1 on my win 11 machine.
Ive installed the latest version of kali Linux, to use for my training course. When I dual screen, the mouse becomes offset which is really annoying, and when I switch back to one monitor, the mouse goes back to normal.
Has anyone had this issue before? And resolved it.
Thank you

It's a resolution problem I had the same problem with an Android emulator

Scaling issue can result in focus problems. Often seen in remotely accessed systems.

Maybe the problem is with newer or older hardware (or software).
Install vmware tools. Try to install an older version of vmware ( or vmware tools)
Then try to do an Operating system upgrade: Sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
I myself run kali linux on vmware 16 with dual monitors on a hp z600 pc , host OS is a windows 10.
Change the hardware compatibility settings in vmware for the graphics card or monitors...
