Mouse Lag/Ghosting when screensharing

[ssavarese]

We have a Mac mini (M1, 2020) model that we primarily remote into. Some of these macs are having an issue with the mouse pointer ghosting/lagging on the remote client mouse significantly.

These are headless machines. We've setup mini's like this for years with no issue, but the new macs on Operating System Version: 12.3.1 are experiencing this issue.

Any ideas on what we can do to fix this?

I had this several years ago with some of my caching service mini's. While it didn't get rid of it entirely an HDMI headless adapter like this one will certainly help the situation.

thanks @mainelysteve . I think we may have one of these to try. or we can get one shortly. We'll give it a shot!
