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 Sender (using, for example, command.com), the window will be reset to its default size
by RGS. Likewise, if a full-screen Windows XP 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 may work,
and should be qualified individually).
On remote computers running Linux, OpenGL-based applications can only be remoted if the remote
computer is using NVIDIA graphics.
The Sender and Receiver executables are signed for compatibility with strict anti-virus programs.
Video overlay surfaces
When the Windows Sender 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.
