 To modify advanced screen settings

From the Setup > Screen subtab, click Advanced.

1. Backing store: Saves screen information to the local X11 server on the thin client. When this

option is active, a copy of the application window is stored in an off-screen pixel buffer. When

hidden sections of overlapping application windows are redrawn, the sections are copied from

this buffer rather than fetched from the server. This increases the screen refresh speed when

the network connection is slow (especially noticeable by ISDN); however, the main memory

requirements are large (128 MB or higher).

2. Font server: If your network has an X11 font server, you can use it to access fonts. The font

server will be available in both the eLux NG desktop and XDMCP sessions. Click New in the

Screen advanced dialog box.

Figure 22: Define font server dialog box

• Either click Font server:Port and enter the IP address (or name) of the font server and

the port number, separated by a colon.

Example: office:7100

• Click Font path and enter the font path. (Font paths are usually accessed via Samba or

Network File System (NFS) drives. Ask your administrator for the correct path.)

Example: /smb/g/fonts

3. Click OK in the Font server dialog box. If the information you entered is valid, the dialog box

closes. If it is invalid, an error message appears. Correct the information and click OK.

4. By default, local fonts have precedence. Select Prepend user font path to give the font

server/path you just entered precedence.

Backing store is

not supported by
