Highlights of the Porteus Kiosk 4.7.0 release
include the ability to set the shutdown options for rebooting the kiosk
or restarting the session, support for refreshing a web page at a
predefined time interval, which could be useful for digital signage
purposes, as well as support for redirecting USB devices to Citrix
sessions by default.
Another interesting feature implemented in this
release is the splitting of the screen rotation function from
"screen_settings" parameter to make it easier for users to rotate the
screen on various kiosk setups. Also, the "TearFree" and "DRI3" features
were enabled by default on the Intel graphics driver for smoother video
playback and screen scrolling.
The Wake On LAN function has been updated as well in
Porteus Kiosk 4.7.0 to allow users to use it for waking up kiosks that
are in other subnets than were the Porteus Kiosk server is located, and a
new "Send notification" action was added to the Administration Panel to
let sysadmins send a message to multiple clients. [...]kindly refer the following link as follow up :
