With an old Sunray1 is it possible to get better than 1280x1024? Say if you drop the color depth? or is that even possible? 19" monitors @ 1280x1024 are about $25 less than 20" monitors @ 1600x1200. (the price of 20"ers used to not entice me for "low end" use...)
No, I'm afraid not. To keep the protocol and firmware simple we always send 24-bit depth to the Sun Ray. You can simulate dropping color depth through the use of utxconfig in order for apps that expect reduced-depth visuals to operate correctly, but we actually convert up to 24-bit depth within our X driver when sending the protocol to the Sun Ray client, so you don't save anything and instead expend extra server CPU cycles - the feature is intended for legacy apps that can't handle 24-bit visuals. The Sun Ray 1 had a maximum resolution of 1280x1024. The Sun Ray 1g, which replaced the 1, can handle much higher resolutions - up to 1920x1200. The Sun Ray 150 (integrated CRT) handled 1024x768 The Sun Ray 170 (integrated LCD) handled 1280x1024 The Sun Ray 2, which replaced the 1/1g at the low-end, handles 1600x1200 The Sun Ray 2FS, which replaced the 1/1g at the high-end, handles 1920x1200 on one monitor, or 3840x1200 across two monitors. The Sun Ray 270 (integrated LCD), which replaced the 170, handles 1280x1024 -Bob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
