6-1 General options The options available under the General tab are shown in Figure 6-2. Figure 6-2 General tab options The options available under the General tab are: • Prompt for username and password-In certain scenarios (such as silent authentication as described in Section 5-3-1, "Standard Login"), the Receiver will not prompt the local user for a domain, username, and password. If the local user desires a prompt in order to enter an alternate domain, username, and password, the user can check this box. If checked, the authentication dialog is always displayed when the Connect button is clicked. This is advantageous on Sender/Receiver pairs running Windows and Directory Mode with different connection needs for each session. • Enable global image updates-When checked (enabled), all of the individual regions of the Remote Computer Sender frame buffer that have changed since the last update of the Remote Display Window are combined into a single update that encloses all of the regions that have changed. The advantage of this approach is that there is no perceptible painting of the individual regions as can sometimes be observed when this option is disabled. However, the single rectangle can include a large number of pixels that have not changed since the last update, and thus can significantly reduce the update rate. Enabling this option may improve visual quality at the expense of performance. • Match receiver display resolution-When checked, the Receiver will negotiate with the Remote Computer Sender to have the Sender adjust its display resolution to match the Receiver display resolution. If the Sender is unable to match the resolution of the Receiver, a warning dialog is issued to the local user. • Match receiver display layout-This checkbox is new with RGS 5.1.3. When checked, the Receiver (Local Computer) will try to set the layout of the Remote Computer physical displays to have the same display layout and resolution as the Receiver displays. If the Sender is unable to match the layout and resolution of the Receiver physical displays, the Sender will try to just match the Receiver display resolution. For example, if the Receiver has two physical displays in a 1x2 layout and a overall virtual display resolution of 2560x1024 (1280x1024x2), the Receiver will try to set the Sender to the same layout and resolution. If that fails, the Receiver will try to set a single Sender physical display resolution of 2560x1024. If that fails, an error is reported to the local user. For information on the properties associated with the above two checkboxes, see Section 8-5-3, "Receiver general properties"-specifically, see the Rgreceiver.IsMatchReceiverResolutionEnabled and Rgreceiver.IsMatchReceiverPhysicalDisplaysEnabled properties. • Select help browser-Enables the user to specify a web browser, such as mozilla, to display online help. This option is not available on Windows (grayed out) because the default web browser is automatically read from the Windows Registry. Advanced capabilities 96

6-1 General options
The options available under the General tab are shown in Figure 6-2.
Figure 6-2
General tab options
The options available under the General tab are:
Prompt for username and password
—In certain scenarios (such as silent authentication as described in
Section 5-3-1, “
Standard Login
”), the Receiver will not prompt the local user for a domain, username, and
password. If the local user desires a prompt in order to enter an alternate domain, username, and password,
the user can check this box. If checked, the authentication dialog is always displayed when the
Connect
button is clicked. This is advantageous on Sender/Receiver pairs running Windows and Directory Mode
with different connection needs for each session.
Enable global image updates
—When checked (enabled), all of the individual regions of the Remote
Computer Sender frame buffer that have changed since the last update of the Remote Display Window are
combined into a single update that encloses all of the regions that have changed. The advantage of this
approach is that there is no perceptible painting of the individual regions as can sometimes be observed
when this option is disabled. However, the single rectangle can include a large number of pixels that have
not changed since the last update, and thus can significantly reduce the update rate. Enabling this option
may improve visual quality at the expense of performance.
Match receiver display resolution
—When checked, the Receiver will negotiate with the Remote Computer
Sender to have the Sender adjust its display resolution to match the Receiver display resolution.
If the
Sender is unable to match the resolution of the Receiver, a warning dialog is issued to the local user.
Match receiver display layout
—This checkbox is new with RGS 5.1.3. When checked, the Receiver (Local
Computer) will try to set the layout of the Remote Computer physical displays to have the same display
layout and resolution as the Receiver displays. If the Sender is unable to match the layout and resolution of
the Receiver physical displays, the Sender will try to just match the Receiver display resolution. For example,
if the Receiver has two physical displays in a 1x2 layout and a overall virtual display resolution of
2560x1024 (1280x1024x2), the Receiver will try to set the Sender to the same layout and resolution. If that
fails, the Receiver will try to set a single Sender physical display resolution of 2560x1024. If that fails, an
error is reported to the local user.
For information on the properties associated with the above two checkboxes, see Section 8-5-3, “
Receiver
general properties
”—specifically, see the
Rgreceiver.IsMatchReceiverResolutionEnabled
and
Rgreceiver.IsMatchReceiverPhysicalDisplaysEnabled
properties.
Select help browser
—Enables the user to specify a web browser, such as mozilla, to display online help.
This option is not available on Windows (grayed out) because the default web browser is automatically read
from the Windows Registry.
