Remote HUD

[Mr_P]

Finn is one of our clients - so I have to advise caution, especially if he is going to shell out £300 on a product where I have see it not work as expected.... potentially he may be using the same macs that I did...

I agree, there may be some version conflict - I will check on this next time I'm re-prepping a number of these systems.

I am happy to see that so many people are using VNC successfully - However, I would be negligent if I advised a client that certain technology or software works 'perfectly' if I have had experience to the contrary...

Simon - ARD is £199

I would seriously have to caution the use of any VNC other than ARD.

I have never had any trouble with ARD.

So if you have seen such a thing - you need to provide accurate descriptions of the problems you encountered - and you need to check then recheck- and then please provide information on the configuration you are using - thinking you have seen a problem is not really very informative-

ensure that all the clients and servers are running the same version - v3.1 is the latest-
and disable all the other VNC clients/servers correctly.

( one of the mistakes that can be made - you can have a non-ARD server, and ARD running at the same time on the same computers on different tcpip ports. you need to make sure that all traces of the 3rd party vnc have been removed - ARD and the other VNC servers use the same protocol called the 'Remote frame buffer' RFB protocol

RD gets its info from the Desktop GUI not from the 3D engine on the graphics card. Unless this has changed since I came across this problem - then the screen will not update correctly when Catalyst is in full screen mode. (will work fine on desktop mode)

It would seem to me from this assertion above - that you have the exact problem i talk of here - you have a vnc client/server installed that is not doing the right thing-
because i have used ARD to monitor the output from catalyst in full screen - on several monitors simultaneously without any problems at all for several years. it is a vital tool for me to prevent me going insane.
