To the best of my knowledge, you're doing everything right so far :) The 1152x768 resolution is strange. Is it a widescreen monitor? Maybe the VM can't support higher than that? I'll give it try on my VM setup and see what happens (I have pretty much the same setup as you, it seems).
Question; do you want your openthinclient computers to boot straight into your XP VM via rdesktop? If so, I would modify the "Desktop" application to hide the taskbar and then modify the "rdesktop RDP client" application to autostart=on, fullscreen-yes That way when the client computer boots it will just jump straight into rdesktop and will be fullscreen without the linux desktop peeking out with the taskbar. -Dell discsox wrote: > > Thank you very much for your advice and I apologize because I am really > new to this... > I had partial success by doing the following: > - create a device "monitor" under "Devices" where I specify resolution > and refresh rate (e.g. 1600x1200) > - Add the monitor device to the VMware hardware type that specifies the > graphics card and monitor > - Assign the thinclient in question to the VMware hardware type > > Is this the correct way of doing this? > > This configuration has the strange effect that the desktop has a > resolution of 1152x768... which is still better that 800x600. > Rdesktop ends up with a resolution of 1152x744 which is equivalent to the > client resolution minus the taskbar. > > It might be a limitation of running the client under VMware ESX3i. > > I will try a real computer next... > > > DigiDT wrote: >> >> rdesktop gets its resolution from the client's operating system (in this >> case, Openthinclient linux).
