Display selection when launching RDP connection in full screen
In the previous ThinOS version, if you connect an RDP session in window mode with the default resolution, the first session is
displayed on the main screen. If a secondary RDP connection is launched, the second session is displayed on the second screen.
When you connect an RDP session in full screen mode, the connection is displayed on all the screens and there is no option to
display full screen on a specific display.
In ThinOS version 8.6, you can select your preferred display on which you want to launch the RDP session in full screen
mode. In a multi-display setup, the Default on Screen X option is added in the Display Resolution drop-down list in the
Connection Properties window of the RDP connection. For information about selecting the display to launch the RDP
connection, and to know how the feature works in different scenarios, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.6 Administrator's
Guide at www.dell.com/support.
You can also enable this option using the INI parameter onscreen=x, where the onscreen value is the number of displays.
For more information about configuring the INI parameter, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.6 INI Reference Guide at
www.dell.com/support.
NOTE:
If you switch the display mode between span and mirror modes, you must restart your thin client to apply the
settings specified in the onscreen INI parameter.
