Interacting with Linux Virtualization

[mtspace]

I'm running both Dexpot and connecting to a Linux VM using Red Hat Virtualization. When changing desktops on Dexpot to the one with the VM window, that window does not redraw (just shows a black background). I can force it to redraw by entering/exiting full screen mode. I'm wondering if there's a known way to force a window to perform a redraw, either via a plugin or by adding a rule, or if there are settings that might remedy this.

Windows version 7 Professional (build 7601)
Dexpot version 1.6.11 (build 2394)
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Version: 3.3.1-0.48.el6ev

Thanks.

Try this. Inside the Dexpot installation folder, create an empty text file called "mywechsel.ini". Insert the following into the file:

Code: Select all

[Exe]
vm.exe=move

Replace "vm.exe" with the executable name of the virtual machine. Save the file and restart Dexpot.

[FAQ] What is the (my)wechsel.ini file capable of?

That appears to have done it. Thanks for the reply!
