Application support
RGS supports all applications, except those applications that use full screen exclusive mode. RGS
may not be suitable for most full screen games. If a full-screen MS-DOS command prompt window is
created on the remote computer (using, for example, command.com), the window will be reset to its
default size by RGS. Likewise, if a full-screen Windows command prompt window is created (using
cmd.exe or the command prompt icon), the window will also be reset to its default size by RGS. Full-
screen DirectDraw applications are not supported; however, DirectDraw applications in a window
might work and can be qualified individually.
On remote computers running Linux, OpenGL-based applications can only be remoted if the remote
computer is using NVIDIA graphics.
The RGS Sender and RGS Receiver executables are designed for compatibility with strict anti-virus
programs.
Video overlay surfaces
When the RGS Sender on Windows is installed on a computer, video overlay surfaces (also known
as overlay planes) are disabled on the computer. Some media players that use video overlay
surfaces will not display correctly. This can often be resolved by disabling the use of video overlay
surfaces in the media player.
Most OpenGL applications will detect the disabling of overlay surfaces, and will work correctly.
However, if your OpenGL application attempts to use the disabled overlay surfaces, it may display
incorrectly. If this is the case, check to see if your OpenGL application provides a mechanism for the
user to manually disable the use of overlay surfaces.
