But that’s what I was saying originally —- I’ve heard about this trick of connecting a monitor to improve performance but I’ve never seen it make a difference. Is there something else you have to do?
I personally use Remotix for VNC, Remotix has integrated the Apple specific VNC protocol which allows for more performance, file transfers, etc.
Never heard of that client or Apple's proprietary VNC protocol (sounds like something they'd do). Thanks.
Ahh, I have been using Remmina. Thanks.
What bandwidth/latency are required for responsive interface?
Anything above 20mbit should be fine
Thank you!
