  (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
