Debugging is fairly simple. From a terminal, find the process ID of
your sessions Xnewt process then do "kill -USR2 <pid>"
Now tail /var/dt/Xerrors for messages like "Display :2.0 Video port Id
39 Compressed: JPEG-D"
Can you describe your environment a bit more.
Specifications about the VM config?
Windows is 2008R2 correct? Baremetal or VM?
What type of content are you viewing, how large?
Sun Ray DTU is a 2 or better? What rev of firmware?
Describe the network between the 2008R2 server and the Sun Ray Server
and the Sun Ray Server and the DTU.
For Windows 7, we take advantage of a RDP 7 feature that Microsoft often
calls "enhanced bitmap acceleration". It takes a considerable amount of
CPU and bandwidth from the Windows Server, and compared to our XP/2003
Flash solution it takes more work on the Sun Ray Server side as we now
have to transcode the RDP 7 bitmap stream into mjpeg.
I'd be interested in seeing prstat output from the Sun Ray Server VM
while you are watching video and also utcapture.

To tell the truth, it may be working, just working poorly. I can’t
figure out how to tell if it is working for sure. In the documentation
it discusses enabling logging and looking in the log file for a
particular entry. I was unable to find the entry, but I was feeling my
way through the process of turning on logging and I’m not sure I had it
right. The command is based on the PID of an xnewt process. I think I
had it right, but I am by no means a Solaris expert (seriously, I’m
Solaris challenged) so I had to feel my way through it.
Anyway, the video and audio is choppy, and I never saw the tell-tale
entry in the log, so I think it is not working. I would love some more
insight into this from someone who has made it work. Multi-media is
almost always the stumbling block towards getting more people to adopt
virtual desktops.
We are running Solaris 10 X86 on VMware ESX.
