Video Hook & DirectX

Post by MrTAToad »

Hello

I have noticed, with the latest version of UltraVNC, and the video hook (even when idle) disables 2D DirectX acceleration AND AGP Texture acceleration. In order to get these two back, I have to uninstall the video driver.

I have an Acer Ferrari 4000 laptop, with the latest ATI drivers, Windows XP Home.

Normal, when the video driver is diabled, it should have no impact
on the real video card.

However, when you are runnning as a normal user, and you don't have permission to change the bit in the registry that enable/disable the
mirror driver, it keeps continous running in the background.

In tha case
check
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\SERVICES\vncdrv]
in DEVICES the key Attach.ToDesktop need to be world readable
and writable.
=0 -->disabled after resolution change
=1 -->enabled after resolution change
