This issue is happening with windows-10 (Server) and Ubuntu-20.04 (Client) also. Both gets connected but when mouse enter into the client machine (Ubuntu-20.04) then the mouse pointer becomes invisible. While vice-versa(Ubuntu-20.04 as Server and Windows-10 as Client) works perfectly.

+1 on this one. Seeing the same with Windows 11 as the server MacOS, Windows 11 and Raspian clients. Only W11-W11 works It is related to the scale factor of the server's main screen. The Surface Pro 8 defaults to 200% scaling on the main screen. When I switch the main screen to 100% MacOS and Raspian as clients start working.
Also switching to another monitor on the server as the main screen if the scale is 100% works around the issue.

same issue here, with Win10 + Mac Ventura. Either I use blurry Windows or I can't use barrier.
