vmware workstation pro 14 mac os shows on console only

Similarly RDP is an option, but I find it to be a bit flaky on an Intel Mac. Yes, I know that if I used Microsoft Virtual Server I could run it in a browser, but I’d need ActiveX and I’m not using Internet Explorer. The virtual machine would still be limited to 1024×768 but I could access corporate applications in the VMware Server Console and do the big screen stuff (web, e-mail, document edits, etc.) natively on the Mac, using the whole display. As I virtualised my corporate Windows XP build a while back, I thought it would be great if, when I’m working at home, I could run the Linux VMware Server Console on my Mac (which is connected to the large display). Working with all that screen space is fantastic (especially with 4 virtual desktops), except that I’ve got so used to it that the standard 1024×768 pixels on the notebook PC that I use for work seems too small and an upgrade is out of the question as the PC is only 18 months old.įor a while now, I’ve been running the notebook on the desk next to my main display but I’m running out of desk space. Last year, I bought a 20″ wide-screen monitor which I run at a resolution of 1680×1050 pixels. Please be warned that the information here may be out of date.
