[THIN] Re: multiple monitors

Hi Steve,

 

Multi-monitor support roughly consists of a large display window spanning multiple monitors. There's extra logic there for application positions etc but that's not relevant to your issue.

 

Anything outside that session display window won't be visble. The height is determined by the height of your monitors and the width is determined by the amount of available session video memory. Colour depth (eg 32bit vs 16bit ) also plays a role here since greater colour depth means less useable width.

 

The "normal" amount of assigned session video memory is about 5600 KB. If we assume that you're running the session in 32bit colour, then the width of the display window would be (((5600x1024)/4)/1280) would be 1120 pixels.

 

If you edit the farm properties > Server default > ICA > Display > "maximum memory to use for each session's graphics" and increase the available TS session video memory to 8192 KB then you'd have a display width of 1638 pixels which is still not quite enough. BUt if you then reduce the colour depth to 24 bit you get a width of 2184 pixels which will let you display 2x1280x1024 quite nicely.

 

regards,

 

Rick

xenapp 4.5 fp1 with hr03, w2k3 R2, xpsp2 running ica client 10.2 dual monitors, both set to 1280x1024, 60hz. Published apps will *only* work on the primary monitor - try and drag them to the other monitor and they just disappear, or at least the part of the app that's on the monitor.

 

Anyone?
