Thank you very much for your advice and I apologize because I am really new to this... I had partial success by doing the following: - create a device "monitor" under "Devices" where I specify resolution and refresh rate (e.g. 1600x1200) - Add the monitor device to the VMware hardware type that specifies the graphics card and monitor - Assign the thinclient in question to the VMware hardware type
Is this the correct way of doing this? This configuration has the strange effect that the desktop has a resolution of 1152x768... which is still better that 800x600. Rdesktop ends up with a resolution of 1152x744 which is equivalent to the client resolution minus the taskbar. It might be a limitation of running the client under VMware ESX3i. I will try a real computer next... DigiDT wrote: > > rdesktop gets its resolution from the client's operating system (in this > case, Openthinclient linux).
