This is the design of ICA, there really is no question about that, the display driver is a software driver and does not use the server video card at all. If someone doesn't believe it, remove the server video card and show how sessions still work!! Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Intuitively I know that it is not the graphics card that is doing the rendering, but the multi-win GDI. Can someone point me in the right direction regarding a KB or white paper or some other source that definitively indicates that server graphics card has little to do with the local client rendering? That would be awesome, and yes I already know that Flex and Flash are bad ideas for MetaFrame but despite the repeated warnings, the app was developed in them anyway. Thanks! rob
