( Simple VNC programm, also with a portable client) This always works, as Windows remote just transfers the window content. You can start the OpenGL program, allowing it to see the graphics card, create an opengl context and then connect via WindowsRemote. In many corporate environments Windows Remote is a constantly used tool and an app has to work there as well. The, especially in support IRCs, often suggested 'Don't use WindowsRemote' is unfortunately not an option for many. Starting a OpenGL context higher than v1.1 fails because of this. For instance you cannot change the desktop resolution and GraphicsCard drivers usually just disable their setting menus.
Problem:Ī RDP session of Windows does not expose the graphics card, at least not directly. This is a write-up I wish existed when I started researching this, both for coders and non-coders.
Solutions for this are dependent on the use case and answers are fragmented across the vast depths of the net. OpenGL and Windows Remote don't play along nicely.
