(Virtual Machine downloaded from https://www.modern.ie/es-es/virtualization-tools  - Windows 7 with IE 9)

A workarround is disable HWCursor using xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d files.
But that wont let me do multiple monitor with two gpu's (discrete gpu
and intel igpu)

Hardware:
Asus P8H77-M PRO
Intel i5 2500
