Thanks Holger for the response. ------------- You can't set Xwins display depth larger than the Desktop it is running on. Usually that would be 16 Bit with rdp sessions. Did you ever check on the rdp Windows Desktop that you really get 32 Bit in Windows? Because i get 16 Bit even if i request 24 Bit. -------------
I'm using a new beta version of microsoft's RDP which should support 32-bit displays (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925876), but I will have to check whether it is actually working as advertised. ------------- A possible solution would be a ssh connection and tunneling X11 through it. Cygwin provides a ssh daemon for windows. ------------ I am currently using SSH (putty) with tunneling to connect from the office PC to a linux server. The network administrators have not opened any ports on the linux server for outside access, I believe I can only enter the network via RDP on my office computer. I will see if they will allow me to open another port on my computer for SSH port forwarding, it should indeed solve the problem if I can bypass the office computer directly.
