Firmware release: IGEL Universal Desktop LX(x86)/OS 4.10.100

Tuesday, July 31st, 2012

IGEL Universal Desktop OS
=========================
Version 4.10.100
Jul 30 2012

=============================================================================
Notes:
=============================================================================
IMPORTANT:
Dual monitor configuration for “unsupported hardware” works only if “native
driver support” works properly. It is a prerequisite to assure that the
native driver is really working, as the fallback VESA driver does not provide
any dual monitor configuration. Have a look at Application Launcher’s
About tab->Hardware-Graphics Chipset. If VESA is listed there the native
driver does not work and dual monitor configuration is not functional.

=============================================================================
Known issues:
=============================================================================
– [VMware View]
– If a protocol is preselected through configuration and another protocol is
chosen at the VMware View client’s local dialog, the connection cannot be
established.
– VMware View smart card logon now is disabled by default! It can be enabled
in IGEL setup on page Sesions->View Client->View Client Global->Smartcard
for each type of supported smart card separately.
– no error messages are shown
– in VMware View appliance mode
– if registry key “vmware.view.once” or
“sessions.vdm_client<NR>.options.once” is enabled.

– [Leostream]
– With enabled USB redirection: Currently the user has to choose which
USB devices should be redirected when starting the session. Unfortunately,
the USB keyboard is visible in the selection dialog window. If the user
chooses the keyboard and starts the session, the keyboard does not work
inside the session. Sometimes it even does not work in the local system
anymore after the session has ended. In this case the device has to be
rebooted.

– [base system]
– If your disk size is 512MB or smaller:
The “SAPGUI for Java” and the “2X Client” services are not available anymore.

serial number and uuid. It can be opened in IGEL Setup -> Devices -> Hardware Info.
