Screen resolution on Remote desktop

Can someone please confirm if the native resolution of 1366 by 768 affects the way a remote desktop to a Windows PC is displayed ?
Thanks,

If you are using the MS client, v2, you should be able to size the window correctly in the settings/preferences. But, you are correct that the MBA screen is true 16:9 vs. the Windows which is probably 4:3

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Screen resolution in remote connection

Hello.
I have several macs, both at home and at the office.
I like to use my MacBook Air on the go.
When at the office, I like to work from a mac mini with a full HD screen resolution.
The MacBook Air support this external screen.
In order to avoid connecting and deconnecting the screen all the time,
I would like to connect to the MacBook Air from the mac Mini,
and enjoy the full HD screen resolution, while working remotely on the MB Air.
Unfortunately, I only can access the native MB Air resolution of 1440*900.
Is there any way to solve this ?
Thanks for your support,
V.

Screen resolution for remote client

I have used Windows remote desktop and it has the fuction of setting the display resolution of the target machine when you login. So if i am on using a small laptop with small screen resolution (1024 x 768) and connect to a remote machine with a high resolution i can set the remote machine to display at 1024x768 nativly (no stretching or scalling).
DOES APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP HAVE THIS FUNCTIONALITY?

Ok so the solution was to user a different VNC client in Ubuntu. "Vinagre" allows you to view your remote session scaled to any size you like. It will however retain the dimentions of your MacBook screen.
One thing to be aware of is that when authentication your VNC session (entering your username and password) Vinagre only allows you to enter a password of 8 characters max. So if your password is longer then 8 characters you will have to shorten it to user Vinagre... A bit annoying but at least it works.
Techy notes:
It is actially the VNC server Vino that Vinagre uses that is enforcing the password length limit. So if using an alternative client that uses Vino as it's VNC server this limit will apply for that client also.
Even though you are scaling the client session down VNC sends the host's full resolution so you will still transfer a lot of data over the network.

Max. screen resolution of secure desktop

Hi there.
I have access to the notebook at my office via Secure Global Desktop. Normally my notebook has a screen resolution of 1280x1024. If I try to access it with this resolution from home I indeed can log on but I only get a blue screen (for about one second I can see the icons on my notebook's desktop).
Using a resolution of 1024x768 everything seems to work fine. But this resolution is too low to work with so that I would have to switch it every evening when I leave the office (to ensure that I could have access in case of emergency).
Is there really a limit concerning the screen resolution? Does anyone know anything about that? Or if not, how would it be possible to access my notebook with the higher resolution!? What would I have to configure in the administration area?
Thanks for every hint.
Regards,
Stephan

I work with 1280x800 and it works perfectly.
One thing you can try is to increase the memory assigned to java to see if it helps.
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit --tuning-jvm-initial <MB>
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit--tuning-jvm-scale <percent>
/opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config edit--tuning-jvm-max <MB>
I normally set the initial to 60% of the systems memory, the scale to 150 and the max to 80% of the systems memory.
I this won't help is will make the performance a bit better if the jvm memory was set very low.

Handling different screen resolutions by a desktop application

Hi,
I recently tried to make a desktop app using basic javafx layouts and controls. I made it using borderpanes, gridpanes and stackpanes. I had a base of borderpane, on which all my controls were placed on grid, but it looked lame, so i inserted a colorful rectangle in between the background and controls using stackpane. Everything was wonderful on my system, but when i gave it to a friend to check out what i had made, it just wasn't the way i had made it on my system.
The background was as it should have been(it was because the scene was kept at screen resolution) but the rectangle and the controls were displaced, and the reason was my friend has a laptop with higher resolution than mine. I tried to fix things up, removing the hard coding for the placements and using an ratio of the screen resolution, but no matter how much i tried, something or the other seemed to be out of place. For ex, on a page where i had one big rectangle, inside which there are two small rectangles and each rectangle have a gridpane with controls. All of them are stacked together using Stackpane.
I'd blame all to the stackpane, but i chose it coz my requirement demanded it.
Any suggestions on how to make an desktop application which can handle all resolutions, and the best practices that must be followed and kept in mind, while designing a desktop app.
Thanks,
Abhi

one example you can find in the image below, where i had set the message perfectly in my system and opening it in another system, the message is not placed correctly.

Screen Resolution blurred. Desktop disply doesn't fit screen

I have a Mac Book pro intel running 10.4.11.
Without making any changes to my resolution pref's, it opened up displaying the desktop (and subsequently opened app's) as blurred and not fitting the monitor (too large all round)
by holding down and moving the mouse, I can move the WHOLE screen to access an icon or tool bar.
Tried to change resolution, but it makes no difference.
Any solution other than throwing it at the repair shop for a new driver?

That sounds like "zoom mode." Press the 'control' key while moving the
scroll ball on the mouse to "zoom out" to normal size. If you like, you can
disable zoom mode from:
*System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Mouse*

High Screen resolution from remote computer?

Is there any way to dictate what resolution you want the remote computer to be when you display it on your own computer?
It seems the biggest I can get the remote computer to show up on my computer is the highest resolution it shows inside the DISPLAYS preferences on the remote machine ...?

Its seems odd. I have my G5 as a headless machine ans the video card can support 2 30" Cinema Displays, but all I get for resolution choices is 1024x768 max. If I plug one of my Cinema displays into the G5 then I can increase the resolution, unplug it, and have the higher resolutions available in my now headless G5. Of course, if I reboot it, I am back to 1024x768.
Bummer.

Remote desktop (and VNC) show black screen

I am using Remote Desktop (or VNC) on a 10.6 laptop to access my 10.6 Mac Pro at work. The desktop Mac is up and awake because I can connect to it by SFTP and pull down files. But when I make a Remote Desktop connection, all I see is a black screen and no password window (to break through the screensaver, as usually happens). This used to work just fine - I don't know what changed. How do I diagnose and/or fix this - why isn't my remote access working? (btw, I don't know if this matters, but I have 4 monitors on this Desktop Mac Pro, although it used to work just fine).

Hi,
Please make sure you have installed the correct NIC drivers for your RDS server and PC, and checking the switches, setting the speed of NIC's to auto might help you to solve the problem.
You can also check the following items:
Please try lower screen(no full screen) resolution in Remote Desktop Connection to see whether this issue still exists.
Disable the use of "Bitmap Caching" on the RDP client.
Verity that the server, client and the network equipment using the "MTU" size.

Remote Desktop Connection - Resolution problem

Hi,
On my laptop i have Windows 8.1 Pro, with a resolution of 3200x1800. When i used RDP to a server that for example run windows 2008 r2, 2012 2003 etc, the resolution is very tiny. I have googled around and it seems like RDP does not support this change, even
if i change the fixed size, it changes only the window and not the connection resolution.
I have tried Remote Desktop Manager and mRemoteNG and these works ok, but what about the RDP client ?
Any FAQ from MS on this ?
Thanks for reply.
/Regards Andreas

Hi Andreas,
RDP 8.1 was made many changes. one is the addition of a new message that can be sent from the client to the server to dynamically update the resolution inside the remote session to match what is available on the client without the need to do a
complete reconnect of the session.
Thus the change is quick enough to be practically the same as a local change. If you don't want it change your resolution dynamically, make sure"let me choose one scalling level for all my display" checkbox is checked:
right click desktop, click Personalize, click display link at bottom left hand corner of the page, check "let me choose one scalling level for all my dispaly" checkbox, restart the computer to
take effect.
Don't forget set your display is "Full Screen" at the Remote Desktop Connection settings.

Problem with remote desktop and lock screen

I know of the easy way to immediately lock a Mac's screen by clicking the menu bar lock icon from KeychainAccess. This works on every system under my control (rMBP running Mavericks, MacMini with 10.5 and Mavericks). However when I control the Macs via Remote Desktop (currently 3.7.2), that lock icon behaviour changes.
Trying to lock a 10.5 system, the screen inside the Remote Desktop window goes black immediately. Moving the mouse activates the password dialog. That is what I want. Doing the same in a remote Mavericks system, the screen goes to a dark blackish semi-transparent state. Moving the mouse immediately restores the normal desktop view, no password asked. Is this a feature or a bug in Remote Desktop? This change in behaviour must have come in around Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi
Do you use the Intel Proset Utility to configurate the WLan connection?
Try to configure the WLan using this tool and check if the Wlan would disconnect again.
Im also interesting what Wlan driver did you use?
Did you use one from the Intel page?
If not, check the Intel page for the newest WLan driver version.

Remote desktop and screen sharing with RMI

Iam developing an application for screen sharing and remote desktop
the problem is a performance problem
in the screen sharing application server screen is captured and the image is sent to all connected clients through rmi connection
I used JPEGImageEncoder to compress the image and convert it to array of bytes
then zipped the resulted array using deflater.
the result is sent through rmi connection
the performance is so poor
i tried JMF but the performance is worse
i am thinking of a way to send the server screen only if it is changed but i don't know how
anyone could help me to enhance it with acceptable quality for the image
thanks

As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

Time machine is invisible but working via remote desktop - magic

Hello,
Time Machine is backing up properly an external firewire-disk of the server and the internal drive. If I run time machine on the server and restore the external volume - or internal volumes - time machine works but stays invisible. The finder window moves and resizes, the screen seems to be frozen - but it´s time machine invisibly running and I cannot see the stars and the space nor the buttons. But I can click them - I can abort time machine and get back to the finder. I also could try to find the place to click to scroll through time and change the windows´ content. I think I could also restore a file successfully but I did not try. But I cannot see time machine. It worked before I updated to 10.5.3 I think. It´s not the screen resolution in Apple Remote Desktop. And I cannot test the Macmini with a screen because it has no screen - it only is accessable via Remote desktop. It seems to me that the remote desktop client on the server does not send screen data of time machine.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hello,
I made some more tests. I plugged a Screen adaptor for the TV at the mac mini to have a screen attached. The resolution in remote desktop was PAL and very small but time machine was working and it showed up well.
The result is that time machine needs a monitor to run properly or is it Remote Desktop that needs a monitor? The macmini is brand new and leopard server is 10.5.4.
Are there some ideas to solve this issue.
Thank you.
Best regards

Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

I found lots of
shortcuts won’t work during remote desktop connection between Win7 64 host (home premium) to Win 7 64 guest (professional):
Include:
ALP+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN
CTRL + ALT + ±
In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
Is there any fix?

Hi，
Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

Screen Resolution issue - BDC Grid

Hi All,
I am facing an issue with BDC for PRMM transaction.
If we look at the PRMM transaction, the very first screen consist of GRid forAction type.
The records in the grid of PRMM transaction is changing as per the screen resolution of User desktop.
Example: In my screen, I am able to see 16 rows in Grid and in user desktop i can see 10 or 20 rows. Because of this the Pagedown option and BDC is not behaving properly.
Please suggest what should be done to resolve it.
Thanks,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,
during recording from SHDB, use check box for Default Size.
in call transaction syntax: use
data: wa_opt type ctu_params.
wa_opt-dismode = w_mode. [N OR A OR E]
wa_opt-defsize = c_check.[X]
wa_opt-updmode = 'A'.
CALL TRANSACTION c_me41 USING i_bdcdata
OPTIONS FROM wa_opt [INSTEAD OF HARD CODING MODE]
MESSAGES INTO i_msgcoll.
Hope this can solve your problems.
