Thanks for the info Otto... looks like I will be asking for [EMAIL PROTECTED] support...Regarding bug 6412036, I ran 'utsettings' and in the terminal window I see the following error message: bash-3.00$ ./utsettings java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 512 at SettingsGUI.set_control_value(SettingsGUI.java:1759) at DevControl.find_info(DevControl.java:1010) at DevControl.run(DevControl.java:1444)
That's 6412036. It happens because the SR2 and 2FS use an extended message format that the current 'utsettings' program can not handle. The fix will be included in the next SRSS patch. Sun Support might be able to give you a binary fix if you want it before the patch is released. I don't know the expected date for the next patch.
Is there a list of supported monitors that have been tested with the Sun Ray 2 and Sun Ray 2FS clients somewhere? How can I be sure that a given monitor will work with our Sun Ray 2's at the optimum resolution for the monitor? We are now considering purchasing some different monitors as well as some of the Sun Ray 2FS clients (for the built-in multihead support) and want to be sure that the monitors we purchase will work at the optimum resolution for the Sun Ray 2 clients.....
I don't know of such a list. Given the rate of turnover in the product catalogue of the mass-market monitor vendors it probably wouldn't be particularly useful anyway. If the monitor's natural timing is one of the timings that are built in to SRSS (that's the list shown by 'utsettings' or the ones with a 'B' flag in 'utresdef' output) then it has a good chance of working. The timings Sun Ray emits are ones that match the VESA recommendations where such recommendations exist, or that have been demonstrated to work with a variety of monitors from different vendors where VESA does not publish a concrete recommendation. If you're looking to use the same monitor at 1920x1200 on the 2FS and at 1600x1200 on the SR2 then I know from experience that the Sun 24" unit works well, but it's not cheap. It's based on a panel from Samsung so you're pretty safe with Samsung-branded 24" model, I think they sell it as the "SyncMaster". Dell has some nice monitors at good prices too. If you're not looking for 1920x1200 then there are a lot of 1600x1200 monitors around. If you want to try to manually configure a [EMAIL PROTECTED] timing then you could follow the utresdef/utresadm/utresexec technique in <http://www.filibeto.org/pipermail/sunray-users/2005-August/001465.html> using this as the timing definition input to 'utresdef': htotal=1904 hfp=80 hsyncwidth=152 vtotal=932 vfp=1 vsyncwidth=3 vcomposite=8 pixclock=10647 xres=1440 yres=900 hz=60 This is derived from the output of 'gtf' which claims to follow the VESA Generalised Timing Formula guidelines. I don't know whether it will actually work for your monitor because I can't find detailed timing information on the ViewSonic website. If you do try it then I'd be interested to know what happens.
