The VM template has been created using Opennebula Ubuntu 20.04 marketplace Public Image. Inside the VM the Graphics properties are showing, as **Cirrus Logic GD 5446** The real issue is, I have installed KDE Plasma for GUI, but the refresh rate is very low. Just to scroll down a webpage the glitch is very high. The VM is powered by a very high Intel Xenon CPU and Ram. So resource is not a problem. Can anyone please help to make the desktop experience smoother? ---

Thanks in advance, Esteban There is a way to change the VGA adapter, but xRDP really slow. It seems like the problem is with xRDP.
