The catch is that for 2008R2 is access by a vRPD would be akin to you
being on the console. Technically 2008R2 is RDP 6.1 with enhancements
that are only available to RDP 7 capable clients.

If I understand it correctly, I can still use a W2K8/R2 VM as the guest within
VirtualBox and reap the benefit of video redirection. What tripped me up is
the following line in the documentation:
7.1.9 VRDP video redirection
[...stuff deleted]
On the client side, however, currently only the Windows 7 Remote Desktop
Connection client supports this feature.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to write "RDP 7" instead of "Windows 7"? Because
W2K8/R2 uses RDP 7 but is not Windows 7, technically.

Hi Ivar,
Not all the pieces are in place to make that suggestion work seamlessly
today, but I believe Oracle understands the benefit of such a solution
and the value of having it work seamlessly with it's desktop
virtualization offerings.
I have to say that it warms my heart to see members of the community
realizing the potential of VirtualBox brings to the VDI market. ;)
Over the past couple of years, the product teams for Oracle VDI and
VirtualBox have developed an amazing symbiotic relationship. Of course
this is just my opinion, but I seriously doubt our any of our prior VDI
efforts were really considered Sun acquired InnoTek. Nor do I think
anyone ever really envisioned that the Sun Ray product group would
become the primary consumer of VirtualBox technology. I know there are
plenty of stories of people who left Oracle because they didn't like the
decision made about the products they worked on, but I can't say I share
that sentiment. It's a pretty exciting time to be involved with both
Oracle VDI and Sun Ray.

If you run a VirtualBox server with Windows XP/7 then you can enable 3D
hardware acceleration in de VM and VirtualBox additions software in
Windows.
If you connect from the Sun Ray server to the VirtualBox server with
VRDP then you can use de Rapid Changing Area (RCA) detection feature in
VRDP to get the 2D image compressed and sent to the Sun Ray.
I think this is the best route to go.
Kind regards,
Ivar

Hi there,
we are having a similar sort of problem, there is a product called
virtual gl which has the exact solution to this problem. however the
catch is that sun discontinued its support in 2009 (thereby the plugin
which integrates a virtual gl server to sunray is now in-existent on
the internet). I have tried contacting the developer incharge of it on
source forge but the guy didnt reply. I hope someone else has a better
or at least an acceptable solution to this problem.
Regards
