I'm using Horizon desktop application on Linux at home to connect to work systems.
My home setup is a laptop connected to an external monitor, running Linux Mint. The external monitor is the only display active (laptop monitor is disabled).
My laptop has a quirk: if any application tries to probe monitor/display settings, the displays freeze and flickers. The system won't be interactive for about 5 seconds. Thankfully this doesn't happen often or at all, so isn't a problem.
When I launch and use VMware Horizon, though, I see this probing way too many times. It probes at startup. Then many times en-route to launching the remote desktop. Essentially, I don't get to interact with the remote desktop until after a minute. If I open settings, it probes. If I close the settings, it probes. If I switch between the host and remote windows, the probing happens twice (once going in, and again when coming out).
FWIW, I've configured the application to 'Full screen - only this monitor'.
I'd like to do away this continual monitor detection. Can I get some advise on what's going on?
Thanks.
