Full-screen crosshair cursors
Certain applications that use large crosshair cursors (for example, Dassault Systemes ICEM Surf
uses a full-screen crosshair cursor) will not display correctly on the local computer. Full-screen
crosshair cursors can be disabled by typing the following in a terminal window:
X11xprop -root -remove _SGI_CROSSHAIR_CURSOR
This will force the application to use an X cursor, which will display correctly on the local computer.
Gamma correction on the local computer
The color on a 3D application on the remote computer can look incorrect when displayed on a local
computer. This is because the gamma of the local computer monitor may not match the gamma of
the remote computer monitor. To correct this, any tool that will adjust the gamma for a display can be
used. Some tools will adjust the gamma for the entire monitor, while others will adjust the gamma on
a per-window basis. Per-window tools that can be used to adjust only the local computer window will
provide the best results.
Black or blank connection session with the RGS Sender on Linux
Connection to an X Server that is configured with less than 24-bit or 32-bit default visuals (depending
on the graphics device) will cause the RGS Sender on Linux to generate a black or blank connection
screen. For example, some default installations may configure a 16-bit visual in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
after the installation. Reconfiguring the X Server to serve 24-bit (or 32-bit) default visuals, and
restarting the X Server will usually fix the black or blank connection situation.
