[SunRay-Users] Vista & SRC

[Ivar Janmaat]

Hello Graig,

Thanks for the info.
With 12 MB of Video memory it should just be possible to have 2 monitors 
running with 1600x1200 on 24 bits. If uttsc supports a setting of 
-g3200x1200 and we use a 2FS we are in business! Or am I wrong?
This is interesting news. I didn't realized the MS RDP client 
limitations only apply to the MS RDP client.
I thought it was a protocol limitation. So this is another example of 
Sun Ray /SRC superiority over pc based thinclients running Windows OSes. 
Interesting marketing stuff ;-).

Thank you very much,

Ivar
