Enable hardware cursor in Blast session

The hardware cursor enables GPU to control the display of your mouse cursor. Hardware cursors have less latency.

ThinOS supports the hardware cursor in VMware Horizon session with Blast display protocol. Only two cursor colors—Black and White—

are supported.

By default, the software cursor is used in a Blast session, and the hardware cursor is disabled. If the hardware cursor is not enabled, the

cursor uses the true color. If the hardware cursor is enabled, the cursor uses black and white colors.

To enable the hardware cursor in a Blast session, use the following INI parameter:

SessionConfig=Blast EnableHardwareCursor=yes

Enable relative mouse feature

The relative mouse feature is applicable only for the PCoIP-enabled thin clients. When you enable the relative mouse feature, Horizon

Client uses relative coordinates to transmit data about the mouse pointer movements and improves the mouse performance.

To enable the relative mouse feature in the Classic mode, do the following:

1. Connect to a remote desktop using the PCoIP display protocol.

2. Right-click the remote desktop icon on the ThinOS taskbar.

3. Click Enable Relative Mouse.

NOTE:

To disable the relative mouse feature, right-click the remote desktop icon on the ThinOS taskbar, and click

Disable Relative Mouse.

To enable the relative mouse feature in the Zero mode, do the following:

1. Connect to a remote desktop using the PCoIP display protocol.

2. In the ThinOS connection menu, click the A icon that is displayed after the PCoIP session name.

NOTE:

To disable the relative mouse feature, click the R icon that is displayed after the PCoIP session name.

Blast Virtual Printing

Virtual printing with VMware Blast allows you to use local or network printers from the Blast desktop without the need of installing the

additional print drivers on the remote desktop. For each printer configured locally on ThinOS, you must map the printer to the VMware

Blast desktop. ThinOS Blast printer mapping is equivalent to VMware Blast virtual printing.

To map your printer, do the following:

NOTE:

LPT printer is considered as an example to explain the printer mapping scenario. Printer mapping in ThinOS

works similar to LPT for LPD and SMB printers.

1. Power on the ThinOS client with the VMware View broker configured in the Broker Setup tab. Set the connection protocol as All

Supported from the Connection Protocol drop-down list.

2. Go to Global Connection Settings > Session, and retain the Exclude printer devices check box selection. This option is selected

by default.

3. Plug in a USB printer to the ThinOS client terminal.

4. Go to System Setup > Printer.

The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.

5. In the Printer Setup dialog box, do the following:

a) From the Select Port drop-down list, select LPT 1.

b) Enter valid printer name and printer identification.

c) Select the Enable the printer device check box.

d) Click Ok to save the configuration.
