Is it the VGA connector ? Try the digital. (Have experienced some faulty SunRay2 devices with VGA)

Try running the following command: gdmflexiserver --command=VERSION I have some ideas that could help with the version we support - 2.16, but I'm not too sure about the new rewrite. With the old version, you can have per-display copies of (parts of) the GDM config file - that might help. I'm don't know about the new version, however. -Bob Dan Allongo wrote: So I've got the SunRay Image Transport working, but it doesn't give me any more speed, it just looks very blurry... :-( It could also be due to the way I've got it set up. I followed the wiki for setting up SRSS 4.1 on Debian Lenny and I'm also using the sample gdm.conf provided there as well. This means that the Xorg server on :0 is disabled so that Xnewt can start new sessions (headless mode). This is the only way that I've managed to get past the 26D, otherwise if the Xorg server starts on :0, the 'ray just hangs waiting for data. The problem is that VirtualGL on the otherhand requires the 3D accelerated Xorg to run on :0. Right now I have to run 'sudo X &' after I've logged into the SunRay and just before I run 'vglrun -dl -c rgb +sync quake3' otherwise VGL complains that display:0 cannot be opened. Does anyone have a working gdm.conf for a SunRay server that runs VirtualGL? I mean, I guess I could always just install the SunRay server in a VM and have a regular desktop environment as the host running VirtualBox and VirtualGL, but then I'd lose sound since the SunRay sessions would be ssh'd into the host... there's got to be a way to do this all on one box. I understand that Solaris allows using GLP for headless VirtualGL so that it plays nice with SRSS but VGL on Linux requires a 3D accelerated X server running. Ideas?

The next highest should be sryuv, with better quality but lower framerate. I don't have any FPS numbers though.
