    Hello to everyone.

    I'm using FreeBSD as host OS and using the bhyve hypervisor,I boot Android (version 7.1.1 for X64 bit) and another vm with Ubuntu 24.04. Let's say that bhyve does not support some USB protocol (I don't know what is this) and for this missing feeature,when I virtualize Android,I can't move the mouse inside the vm (but the keyboard works). I've been looking for the tool able to move my mouse inside the Android desktop for a year. I've tested several tools,but none of them worked. Now I want to try across. What I want to do is to move the mouse pointer inside the Ubuntu vm and at the same time I want that the mouse pointer also move inside the Android 7 vm. You should know that bhyve does not support the passthru of the USB devices,except for the disks. For this reason If I want to try if your tool work,I should use two PCI to USB controllers. The first one should be passed to the Android vm and the second one to the Ubuntu vm. This setup is a little bit complicated and it could fail. Instead,I suspect that if I try the version of across that allows to share the mouse using the network it will work for sure. I would like to try the network enabled version of Across. I've installed it on Ubuntu,but I see that I can't evaluate any version of Across. They aren't present on the About Cross Center menu.

    So I assume that I can't test it only by installing the server and the client proposed as a trial. I would like to ask you a trial of the pro (or T2) version to see if it will work for my scenario. Let me know.

    Hi, Mario,

    across doesn't support FreeBSD. I am afraid that across would not work on vm environment. Please use a native supported OS (Linux, Windows).
    Thanks.

    Forget the vm environments. I've installed across server on Ubuntu 24.04 physically and the client on Android 9 installed physically on my phone. I have the same problem : the server does not offer to choose the version of Across that I want to try. I want to try the T2 version,but it is not there.

    I'm testing Across on Windows. I've been able to pair the phone with the PC via bluetooth. What I want to know is if server and client can be connected only via adb wi-fi,independently from the bluetooth. I ask this because on the web site I read :

    [​IMG]Standard Type2 (T2) ---> Keyboard/Mouse Sharing through network

    What do you mean with network ? It's a little bit not clear. Network for me it could be wi-fi network. It does no make a lot of sense for me to talk about a bluetooth network,because otherwise it makes no sense to have created more than one profile. Infact it is the basic profile that allows to share Keyboard/Mouse Sharing with Bluetooth HID Emulation. So,basic profile = bluetooth network ; T2 can't be the same.

    Computer means a PC (OS: Windows / Linux) or Mac. I meant an android device is not a computer but mobile device -- smartphone, tablet PC.
