poor video graphics on vm

[mindaugas.st]

helloo,
I'm new one in FreeNAS.
Created VM w10pro, with Ultra and realvnc video comes to big gray pixels over mouse.
With tight-vnc seems all right, but, when scrolling in webpage - video hashing, like working without video-card drivers.
I can't find something like video GPU share or smth. :(

This should improve in 11.1: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/23894.

If using Windows as a client to access a Windows VM, i find using regular Windows RDP to have the best video quality.

Not trying to pad my post count, but i forgot to mention that using RDP has the benefit of audio included. Not useful for everyone, but i use my VM as Plex server so its nice to test files i've added to ensure they work properly.

Chris, can you tell me how to enable Rdp connection option in freenas web?

and what about using the skype on vm? audio, mic, web cam?

resolution is not a problem, all problems on vga, seems like its legacy type :)))

1)First thing i do is set a static IP address for the VM. Can do this using most routers or go into the windowsVM https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/19249/how-to-assign-a-static-ip-address-in-xp-vista-or-windows-7/
2)Second use these instructions to allow remote desktop https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028379/windows-how-to-use-remote-desktop . In the VM (remote) use steps 1-4,
on your client (local) machine use step 5. Step 5 tells you to type in the name of your remoteVM to connect, but i like using the IP address you setup in step 1. Either should work.

I dont know about Skype, even though you are running a windows VM, you are still running it on Bhyve FreeBSD and i dont think all those devices passthrough.
