VMware View Agent Direct-Connection Plugin, Windows XP, maximum resolution on dual-monitor

Hello,

I've got a problem with the maximum screen resolution on a dual-monitor VM under Windows XP, VMware View Agent Direct-Connection Plugin (5.3) and 2 thinclients.

I've installed a fresh VM under XP, i've installed VMware VADC, and setup 128 MB of video RAM with 2 monitors on the VM : i've tried 2 different thinclients (WYSE P20 and HP T510) and the maximum screen resolution that i can get is 1280x1024 on the dual-screens. Any resolution above that leads to the first monitor OK and the second turning black and going in sleep mode.

I've tried the 2 thinclients with a windows 7 VM (with VADC) and no problem, i can have the 2 monitors working at 1920x1080.

Have you got a solution to that problem ? It seems a problem with Windows XP.

What if you give it more video RAM?

Is 3D enabled or not?

What ESX-version are you on?
