How does rdp respond to graphics like working inside xbmc through it?

On the first page someone else posted its slow keeping up with xbmc like team viewer.

I am going to try ultra vnc.

Oh finally! Alt-Enter... I should have known from my gaming days. I can now VNC to my XBMC without a black screen, thanks!

VNC
Alt-enter
Do updates and whatever
Alt-enter
Exit VNC

RDC cons:
Only runs at 1024x768

Remote Desktop works on any resolution, mine is running at 1920x1200.

As I said before, too many deal-breakers with RDC for my needs, but I just double-checked again before I answered now.

On normal computers, I'm sure you are right. I'm not sure what controls it. I assumed most would be controlling a 16:9 TV panel. My XBMC box only has a 1080p TVs attached.

Now, Display Properties reports 1280x768 ... not quite 4:3 or 16:9 (or even 16:10).
In yellow box "The display settings can't be changed from a remote session"

How do you upload a screen-shot here?

You don't change the resolution on the remote computer, the resolution is set in the Remote Desktop client before you connect.

Click show options, then go to the display tab.

We use RHUB`s remote support appliance for remotely accessing Windows and MAC computers. It simply works flawlessly and is very easy to use as well.
