Step 2: Configure the KVM Target Servers
Target Server Video Resolutions
For optimal bandwidth efficiency and video performance, KVM target
servers running graphical user interfaces such as Windows
®
, Linux
®
,
X-Windows, Solaris
™
, and KDE may require configuration.
The desktop background does not need to be completely solid, but
desktop backgrounds featuring photos or complex gradients might
degrade performance.
Ensure that the server video resolution and refresh rate are supported by
KX II, and that the signal is non-interlaced.
See the KX II Online Help for a list of supported target server video
resolutions.
