Monitor priority—The following order defines the monitor priority set on ThinOS for Wyse 5070 Extended thin client:
  • DP1 > DP2 > DP3 > DP4 > mDP5 > mDP6
  • DP1 > USB Type-C > DP3 > DP4 > mDP5 > mDP6
  • DP1 > DP2 > VGA > DP4 > mDP5 > mDP6
  • DP1 > USB Type-C > VGA > DP4 > mDP5 > mDP6
NOTE: Monitor cable hot plug—Screen layout settings are changed based on supported monitor resolution and the port to which the monitor is plugged in.
NOTE: Earlier in ThinOS zero theme, the Display Setup window was aligned with left-hand setting panel. In current scenario, the Display Setup window is positioned to center of the screen regardless of Classic/Zero mode. This enhancement is made to easily configure the display setup along with the confirmation window.

Known issues

  • Hot plugging a monitor may result in a black screen in the VDI connected session. To recover the session screen, you must power off the monitor, and then power on the monitor. This issue will be resolved in the next release.
  • Hot plugging a monitor during VDI connection or display setup configuration may result in unexpected issues, such as terminal freeze or display layout change. This issue will be resolved in the next release.
