Discovered something new. When I drop the resolution from 1920x1200 to 1280x1200 the thin client connects at the correct color depth, 16-bits. Anything higher that the 1280x1200 and its back to 8-bit. Again, this worked fine before the Windows 2003 SP2 update. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Adilson Oliveira" <[email protected]> > To: "San Te" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [rdesktop-users] 8-BIT RESOLUTION ONLY > Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2007 18:58:18 -0300 > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > San Te escreveu: > > Thanks Adilson, I went ahead and tried that and had it dump the > > output to a log. > > > > I'm getting this message: WARNING: Remote desktop does not support > > colour depth 16; falling back to 8 > > > > This is kind of misleading since the server is setup to allow the > > higher resolution and other thin clients are connecting with the > > correct resolution. > > Ah!
