As we don’t use Linux every time. So our office has only one desktop with opensuse. Others use xdmcp to remote to this desktop. We used opensuse 12.1 for last half year, it works fine. But after i replace that computer with opensuse 12.2. I found remote to that desktop is hard to use. When i use Exceed tools to remote to opensuse 12.2 by xdmcp, it response so slow. You can even see the refresh of the desktop. And sees that nvidia drivers is not start.
Does anyone know how this happened?

I don’t think many people use this approach nowadays 
And your
question does not really concern an opensuse application but its
interaction with a windows application, so you may not find much help in
this forum. I would suggest asking on the network-internet forum, or
perhaps on an X-specific list, maybe xorg@lists.x.org
I think people now either run opensuse in a virtual machine on their own
computers, or else use one of the other remote/network desktop programs.
I don’t do either so I can’t be specific.
Hmm… Did the 12.1 install run the binary nvidia driver? If so, did you try installing it, as you say you’re not using it?
Perhaps the slowness is due to the driver in use. Note that after installing openSUSE on a computer with an nvidia card, the default driver is nouveau (not bad), or even fb (framebuffer - real slow) as a fallback.
You have to add the nvidia repo in yast>software management>repositories>community repos and install the appropriate drivers, depending on how old is your graphics card.
If the repo isn’t in the list, just add ftp://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/12.2/
Or you can install the hard way, which is said to be not really hard.
May tou share your configuration?
I’m trying to do exactly the same as you: configure a Opensuse 12.2 server to allow windows clients to login through xdmcp.
thank you.
Hi can you solve this issue, I have the same problem in openSuSE 12.3. The client connect to the server with xmdcp is too slow, perhaps a problem with the video driver. My video card in the server is nvidia…
