[Thinstation-general] Sluggish RDP performance

[Derek M. <dm...@st...>]

I finally got TS5 booting on the Vectra VL400 using

package xorg7-intel
param bootresolution 1024x768-16
SCREEN_RESOLUTION="1024x768"
SCREEN_COLOR_DEPTH="24"
SCREEN_VERTREFRESH="60"

and then connecting to the server with

SESSION_2_RDESKTOP_OPTIONS="--a 16 -x l -r sound:local -r
disk:CD-ROM=/mnt/cdrom/ -r disk:USB-DISK=/mnt/usbdevice/"

However, the RDP performance did seem rather sluggish and not as
responsive or smooth as my previous TS2.2 build.

Does TS5 not work very well at 24 bit color depth and should I only
run it at 16?

I got a modules.list for the machine which might give some clue perhaps.
