Default How does remote desktop look when you connect from the mini9 - 11-04-2008, 04:30 PM

How does remote desktop look when you connect from the mini9 to your desktop?

Does the screen resolution work okay?

Anyone got some screenshots/photos?

Thanks.

small. i connect with my mini to my work computer frequently. i try to avoid it because my work machine has three monitors and 5120x1200 total resolution, and compressing that all down to try to fit into a 1024x600 window is tough. the mini is just fine for RDP'ing onto servers for maintenance and other purposes where a target resolution of 1024x768 is fine.

as always with RDP, it's handy to remember that if a window is stuck 'off-screen', you can usually get it back by right clicking on it's taskbar icon, choosing move, and then pressing the down arrow to snap the window to the current mouse position.

I bought the Mini9 primarily to use it for RDP. No complaints.

Just finished my first RD connection via wireless VPN and it was awesome. The screen paints were faster than on my regular desktop PC (Dell XPS 410). My work system resolution is 1600 x 1200 and it looked great. No sizing issues at all. Now if I can only get my boss to let me work from home full time
