Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and computer program product for configuring display resolution in a terminal server environment. A host system can receive a request for a graphical session, wherein the request identifies a non-standard resolution and the host system generates display initialization information for the non-standard resolution prior to transmitting graphic information to the remote client. The host system can configure a virtual monitor in the non-standard resolution, retain the display initialization information for the non-standard resolution, and can pre-render future graphical sessions in that resolution. Additionally, the host system can maintain a graphical session during a period of inactivity without terminating and, upon reconnection of the remote client, determine if the session should be maintained in the original display resolution or configured for a new resolution.

Claims

1. A method of configuring display resolution in a terminal server environment, the method comprising:

receiving, by a host system, information from a remote client identifying a configured display resolution, wherein the remote client has requested a graphical session;

determining that the configured display resolution is not a standard supported resolution;

generating display initialization information corresponding to the configured display resolution; and

applying the display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission from the host system to the remote client.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein generating display initialization information comprises:

configuring a virtual monitor and

scanning the virtual monitor.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the virtual monitor is a software driver.

4. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

identifying a primary console monitor as the virtual monitor;

scanning the virtual monitor; and

pre-rendering one or more visual objects to display properly at the resolution of the virtual monitor.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

maintaining, for a predetermined period of inactivity from the remote client, the established graphical session without terminating;

receiving a request from the remote client to reconnect to the established graphical session, including information identifying a newly-reported configured display resolution;

determining that the newly-reported configured display resolution is not (i) a standard supported resolution or (ii) the previously-reported configured display resolution;

generating display initialization information corresponding to the newly-reported configured display resolution; and

applying the display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission from the host system to the remote client.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

saving information associated with the system state of the graphical session, including the configured display resolution;

terminating the graphical session;

detecting a request from the remote client to establish a new graphical session; and

applying the display initialization information associated with the saved system state to the requested new graphical session.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising adding the non-standard configured display resolution identified by the remote client to a group of custom display resolutions supported by the host system.

8. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

receiving, by the host system, a request from a second remote client to establish a graphical session, wherein the remote client identifies a configured display resolution;

determining that the configured display resolution is among the group of custom display resolutions supported by the host system;

applying pre-rendered, resolution-specific display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission from the host system to the second remote client.

15. A tangible computer-readable storage media comprising stored instructions that, upon execution by a programmable processor, are operable to cause the programmable processor to perform the method of claim 1.

9. A computer network system comprising:

a network host server comprising one or more processing elements, and one or more memory elements, wherein the server is in connection with one or more remote devices;

wherein the one or more processing elements are programmed or adapted to perform the steps comprising;

receiving information from a remote client identifying a configured display resolution, wherein the remote client has requested a graphical session;

determining that the configured display resolution is not a standard supported resolution;

generating display initialization information corresponding to the configured display resolution; and

applying the display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission the remote client.

10. The system of claim 9, further comprising one or more processing elements programmed or adapted to perform the steps comprising:

configuring a virtual monitor;

scanning the virtual monitor; and

pre-rendering one or more visual objects to display properly at the resolution of the virtual monitor.

11. The system of claim 9, further comprising one or more processing elements programmed or adapted to perform the steps comprising:

maintaining, for a predetermined period of inactivity from the remote client, the established graphical session without terminating;

receiving a request from the remote client to reconnect to the established graphical session, including information identifying a newly-reported configured display resolution;

determining that the newly-reported configured display resolution is not (i) a standard supported resolution or (ii) the previously-reported configured display resolution;

generating display initialization information corresponding to the newly-reported configured display resolution; and

applying the display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission from the host system to the remote client.

12. The system of claim 9, further comprising one or more processing elements programmed or adapted to perform the steps comprising:

saving information associated with the system state of the graphical session, including the configured display resolution;

terminating the graphical session;

detecting a request from the remote client to establish a new graphical session; and

applying the display initialization information associated with the saved system state to the requested new graphical session.

13. The system of claim 9, further comprising one or more processing elements programmed or adapted to perform adding the non-standard configured display resolution identified by the remote client to a group of custom display resolutions supported by the host system.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising one or more processing elements programmed or adapted to perform the steps comprising:

receiving a request from a second remote client to establish a graphical session, wherein the remote client identifies a configured display resolution;

determining that the configured display resolution is among the group of custom display resolutions supported by the host system;

applying pre-rendered, resolution-specific display initialization information to the requested graphical session prior to transmission from the host system to the second remote client.
