WLX.ini and MAC.ini not working properly for WYSE R50
WLX.ini and MAC.ini not working properly for WYSE R50
I have a little bit of a problem with a linked clone pool and need some expert advice. There are users in the pool that do not like the resolution that they are receiving and because of that I am creating a mac.ini for the WYSE device to change the resolution for a handful of users. In the wlx.ini file I have INCLUDE=$MAC.ini at the end of the file to call on the ini file associated with the client. In the mac.ini file I have the changes to the resolution for both screens that the user has. With my test client that I have setup I am successful in getting the resolution to change but the VIEW connection that was setup via the wlx.ini file is not showing up on the client. I am only prompted with a username screen instead of a VIEW connection screen. I can enter the username "Admin" and the password that we have changed via the ini file and I can enter the Connection Manager, so that tells me that the client is reading the section to change the passwords and is keeping it. If I remove the INCLUDE=$MAC.ini from the wlx.ini and reboot the client everything works fine with the exception of the resolution that some of the users do not like.
Below is what I have in the MAC.ini....
DisplaySettings=MON1 rotate-normal 800x600 MON2 rotate-normal on-right 800x600
Exit=yes

I suspect that the include statement is now working with the newer builds. Below is a snippet from the admin guide about using the include statement in the mac.ini to call the wlx.ini.
• $MAC.ini - This file can be used for device-specific configuration. If the thin client
locates this INI file (it is stored in the same directory as wlx.ini), wlx.ini is not
accessed, unless you use the include=wlx.ini parameter.

Wyse SUSE Linux on the R50L doesn't read the mac.ini like Wyse ThinOS. It can either read a mac.ini or the wlx.ini, not both, like on Wyse ThinOS. Place a copy of the wlx.ini in WLX folder and rename it to match the mac address of the unit your testing. Edit the display settings for that unit. You do not need the include= statement in the wlx.ini. It will ignore that command anyway.

I'm really confused then because the client is reading the wlx.ini file because the admin password that is on the client has been changed to what we placed in the ini file. It is also reading from the MAC.ini file because the resolution is being changed to 800x600 like what I have in the file.
Can you please explain this to me. Thank you!
