Yes the same - not sure.
The Sun alternative to the Microsoft Blue Screen maybe ?

I'm shipping out to a Ray 1g at 1600x1200 from a Blade 100
and have no complaints. Mouse and screen is sometimes a
little 'rubbery' but its damned quiet and most of the
time you do not notice. It is bound to be a bit slower
as you are running through X, but you can throw it around
machines just like a regular X-Window - nice.

I'm sure a native connection will give you a much
faster response.
