Known issue
When the relative mouse feature is enabled in a Blast session, you must press Ctrl+Alt to release the mouse pointer in the
following scenarios:
Table 94. Scenarios
Desktop mode Scenario
Classic mode In a session window (not full screen), you cannot move the mouse pointer to the local ThinOS taskbar,
and you cannot move the mouse pointer outside the session window.
Zero mode In a session where the mouse pointer is positioned on the left panel of the screen, the ThinOS taskbar
does not work.
USB device splitting in Blast session
ThinOS supports the USB device splitting feature on the Nuance Dictaphone PowerMic II microphone in a Blast session. The
USB device splitting feature enables you to split the composite device into its components. To enable this feature, use the
following INI parameters:
Device=vusb InterfaceRedirect=yes
Device=vusb ForceRedirect=0x00,0x00,0x03,0x00,0x00
SessionConfig=Blast viewusb.IncludeVidPid=Vid-0554_Pid-1001
viewusb.SplitVidPid=Vid-0554_Pid-1001(exintf:00;exintf:01;exintf:02)
After you enable the USB device splitting feature, the buttons on the PowerMic II are redirected to the blast session, and the
audio mapping is retained in the local device.
For more information about the supported USB devices and USB configurations, see the Nuance SpeechMagic VMware View
Extension - Supported USB Devices and USB Configuration article at kb.vmware.com.
