My mouse kept moving to the top right hand corner and I couldn't get it away and my keyboard commands weren't working and it was pissing me off. After 3 hours I finally went over to the Hyper-V server and logged in... Worked -.- I tried multiple mice devices in the xorg.conf (/dev/psaux, /dev/mice...) and no joy. I eventually got VNC up and running and now I just it to connect to the machine away from Hyper-V. I also had to edit screen resolution down from the GIGANTOR resolution to something more manageable for VNC. Remote desktop and Hyper-V is not a good thing for Linux clients.

Red Hat 5 support is 'coming' but not available yet. Basically if SLES 10.2 goes wrong, Microsoft/Novell will help you fix it :) Unfortunately this doesn't help me at work - we have an application whose vendor will only support RHEL or CentOS. I tried and failed to get this working; however I've just noticed that Julian Field has updated his blog with instructions on how to get RC2 of the Linux IC's installed on RHEL/CentOS 5 - <a href="http://www.jules.fm/Logbook/files/win2008_linuxic_rc2_rhel.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> SLES 10.2 was chosen because it’s officially supported by Microsoft at Hyper-V launch.

Been doing something similar on an old laptop but wouldn't mind trying it out on something a bit more robust. Tried it as a mesh device yet?

Been doing something similar on an old laptop but wouldn’t mind trying it out on something a bit more robust.

Tried it as a mesh device yet?
