Video Considerations
For Remote Control Applications in the FTvirtual Server:
• The Endurance Video Display Driver (MtcVidD) and Video Miniport Driver (MtcVidR)
redirect the FTvirtual Server output to the FTvirtual Server Desktop. Therefore,
Endurance video drivers are required.
- Do not substitute other video on the FTvirtual Server.
- Do not disable the Endurance video drivers.
• The Endurance FTvirtual Server does not support the use of remote control applications
that replace the Endurance video drivers with their own drivers.
For Efficient Use of System Resources:
• Avoid applications that cause frequent video updates because those updates could impose
an additional load on the FTvirtual Server and could have a negative impact on system
performance.
• Table 2-1 lists recommendations for reducing the overhead of FTvirtual Server video.

Running the FTvirtual Server
Desktop
Close the FTvirtual Server Desktop except when the
server is being administered interactively.
3-D applications Avoid running 3-D applications or complex screen
savers, such as those that render 3-D images, in the
FTvirtual Server.
Transition effects From the Control Panel, choose Display and then the
Effects tab. Disable Windows transition effects for the
FTvirtual Server.
Cursors and screen savers Avoid animated cursors and screen savers in the
Endurance FTvirtual Server.
Use only monochrome cursors. Color cursors are not
supported. The Endurance FTvirtual Server video
software substitutes a monochrome cursor whenever a
request is received to display a color cursor. As a result,
some drag-and-drop operations on a Endurance
FTvirtual Server look different than those operations on
other systems.
Animated applications Avoid running animated applications.
