Hi everybody,

I'm having a heck of a time getting Windows 2003 Server to fill a 16:9 widescreen monitor during a terminal server session. I've tried changing the resolution to 1920X1200 (Max resolution for this monitor) on the server while in a term. services session, but it wont allow me to. I've also tried forcing 1920X1200 in the .rdp file by editing it in notepad, but no luck there either. How can I get our Terminal Server to talk to the Terminal Server user in 16X9 instead of 4:3? Right now when the user connects I either have to set his local resolution to 4:3 compatible (I think 1600X1200) or else I get black stripes on either side of the display. With 4:3 resolutions, everything is stretched widthwise and looks funky. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Stuff.

From my information the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol for the WinNT5.1 & 5.2 kernels have a server-side maximum resolution of 1600x1200 - as far as I am aware this hard-coded, to which there is no workaround.

Okay, thanks for the info, if you come across anything that proves contrary, please look me up. Thanks again,

Shawn

if you putz around with the TSWeb client's javascript (or use rdesktop in cygwin) it will let you specify your resolution (resWidth by resHeight). A 16:9 aspect ratio is achievable but you cannot go higher than 1600x1200. (1600x1024 is the closest 16:9 aspect to this)
