Screen Blacking on Server

Post by randy998 »

When I check to black the screen on server when Iam connected with the viewer the server monitor screen changes to black and then changes back to the desktop.

it does this constanstly.

Any ideas what would cause this?

What could be causing this - you moving the mouse and the monitor recognizing it as a local input and wanting to display to user. Blanking the screen effectively puts the monitor to sleep. To wake a monitor up you move a mouse or press a key.

On the viewer u can select dont show remote cursor
and on the server you can disable local inputs.

This may help you? If your computer is too fast it may go in and out of "sleep" mode and it may look like the screen is blinking.
