Hi Peter,

We don't have the same setup as you so we are having to be creative with our 
testing. For example, I have a Windows laptop that has a NVIDIA Quadpro 
graphics card. Then I create a Virtual Machine running CentOS7 and install CAVE 
on the virtual machine. The only way I can "replicate" your issues, is if I ssh 
into the VM instead of running CAVE directly on the VM, so I believe the issue 
arises when the X properties are being forwarded either through a remote 
desktop application (your case) or ssh-ing (my case).

In previous versions of xorg (ex. xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.17) I did not run into 
this issue above. However, when I updated to the latest 
(xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.20), I am able to replicate the issues by ssh-ing. In a 
certain VM I was able to revert to the older xorg version, but that has 
dependencies on gdm (Gnome Display Manager). So I'm still looking into it.

Another possibility you could try is as long as you install VM Workstation 
Player on your windows laptop - follow the instructions for method 2 on our 
website. The zip file has a linux VM already built with CAVE and you should be 
able to connect to your EDEX:
