Remote desktop connections fail for vGPUs with 1 GB of frame buffer when used with Wayland

Insufficient video memory might cause connections over Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to fail for vGPUs with 1 GB of frame buffer when used with the Wayland display server protocol. When this issue occurs, either the RDP session is not connected at all or is connected but with a blank screen.

Workaround

Use a vGPU type with at least 2 GB of frame buffer.
