VMWare Fusion has not even had a working forum at the time i tried to post this text and of course, no support without paying (again), even for letting them know that probably their software has a bug. But i also know that the requirement on Fusion is to use no longer kernel extensions so some things have been shared on this side as well.ĭoes anybody know of the issue? How to solve it?

I know that Apple has worked on the screen sharing encoding. I cannot rule out VMWare software (unfortunately, Fusion 12.1.2 (last version for macOS 11 OS software. I tried the latest Remotix version (6.1.x). I have ruled out memory, HDMI pseudo adapter, network connection, VNC quality sliders. Then did a reinstall of Catalina and restored the TM backup, no issue. I have upgraded to macOS 11.6.2 in the hopes it would solve the issue, it didn't. Running applications that will change the screen content frequently like the opened VMs in VMWare Fusion 12.2.1 will expedite the occurence. When rebooting the Mini, the problem usually is away and returns after a few days of use. Don't know if this is the result of the decoding on the client (compatiblity issue with the new screen sharing encoding) or if the Mini already sends BS. The display becomes strangely garbled, in all sorts of colors (including green blocks) and parts of the screen may appear on other locations.

I guess it's because it cannot decode anymore the stream coming from the Mini. This goes as far as the screen sharing app on Big Sur looses connection (happens as well on Remotix on Mac and iPadOS/iOS15 platform). In any instance, the local display connected to the Mini will stay fine.Įver since i installed Big Sur 11.4, i experience strange display problems on the remote client showing the screen sharing (VNC client). Usually, i use remote management but i have verified that switching remote management off and screen sharing on will not change the behavior. Mac Mini (2018) runs headless with HDMI pseudo adapter (1080P).
