15 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is the mouse cursor very difficult to control inside the simulated display area?
The mouse on the Host and in the Guest do not track each other very well in general. We
provide another mouse mode to help with this. Click on the menu item "Special
Keyboard→Grab Mouse and Keyboard", see Section 5.2.3, “Interaction with the
Simulated Machine”, on page 45.
Please note that this mode has interaction issues with the Exceed X-server on Windows if
you're running a Linux hosted version of the simulator and displaying it over a network
to a Windows PC desktop.
Why does the on-line help not work on Linux?
Quit any local Mozilla browsers before clicking on the on-line help menu items or
buttons in the simulator.
