Workaround: Uninstall and reinstall the latest version of VMware Tools.

When running a Fedora 20 virtual machine in full screen, the display might use an incorrect resolution.

Workaround: Reduce the number of virtual machines running in Unity mode by suspending or exiting Unity mode on other machines.

Drag and drop might fail with two or more running virtual machines in Unity mode.

Workaround: Create a new OS X virtual machine with 10.9.3 and transfer your data. Affected monitors include the Apple 27” and 30” Cinema Displays. Entering Unity or Full Screen might fail.Įntering Unity or Full Screen might fail and revert to Single Window when “Use full resolution for Retina display” is enabled when there is a low DPI monitor larger than 2048 pixels wide attached.Workaround: To avoid this issue, either disable “Use full resolution for Retina display” or downgrade the virtual machine to hardware version 10 in the Compatibility settings panel. Windows XP displays black side bars in full screen mode on monitors wider than 2560 pixels when “Use full resolution for Retina display” is enabled.Workaround: Do not select “Use full resolution for Retina display.” Instead, downgrade the virtual machine to hardware version 10 in the Compatibility settings panel. Entering Unity on Windows XP with “Use full resolution for Retina display” enabled might fail and revert to Single Window.(This option is only available on laptops with both an integrated and discrete GPU.)

To optimize for better battery life in Windows 8, select “Don’t Use High Performance Graphics (Longer Battery Life)” in the Display settings panel. Windows 8 always uses the discrete GPU even when GPU auto-switching is enabled.
