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?

-I am at the maximum video RAM that i can set for a XP VM (128 MB)
-3D is not enabled (it can't be enabled, it's greyed)
-I've tried on VSphere 5.0 and VSphere 5.1
