Re: [Remmina-common] [SOLVED] 0.7.4 on Lucid nVidia vs. 0.8.3 on Squeeze Intel 855GM

[Soumen C. <so...@cs...>]

OK, I figured this out. On the Intel 855GM graphics laptop, DRI was off 
by default, whereas on the nVidia graphics PC, it was enabled. Remmina 
clearly cannot work with DRI disabled. I enabled it by creating the 
following /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
> Section "Device"
>         Identifier "i855"
>         Driver "intel"
>         Option "Shadow" "False"
> EndSection
Hope this will be useful to others with Intel graphics using Remmina.
