Re: RDP performance issues

I am having the exact same problem. I have tried turning on "Force Offscreen Compositing" which was little help. I am running 3 Windows 2000 SP4 and 1 Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. I do not have this problem with the MS RDP client. The interesting thing about this is that I happened to be browsing the site thinking that this was a problem only with Thinstation. Our users have the same problems with clipping while scrolling in Word and when typing in a webpage or in an html email, the text flashes continuously. I am sure that this is a setting or a problem with Rdesktop but I am not sure what to change to fix it.

Thanks,

Stephen Bakerman

 Hello,
 
 I"m using PXES 1.0 to boot a bunch of clients connecting to a Win2k3
 Terminal Server. RDP version is 5. Unfortunately users experience
 slowness in what i think is an image drawing/decompressing issue. In IE
 for example scrolling the page exposes a "clipping" effect. In MS Word
 users experience high latency between scroll requests and image drawing.
 
 Clients are mostly PIII 400Mhz, 64MB Ram and Matrox MGA200 8MB AGP
 graphics card.
 
 I think this is related with rdesktop performance, am I mistaken? Is
 there a way to improve this?
 
 thanks
 
 Luca

	 I get the described results at 16 and 24 colour depths, so I think this
	 is not the problem here.
	 
	 thanks anyway

		 Are you in a LAN ?
	 Have you tried 8 bits also with same results ?
	 Does Microsoft client in the same computer work fine ?
