Direct3D in Remote Desktop on Windows7

[yhelothar]

I read that windows7 now supports Direct3D in windows7, basically allowing for aero and games to work remotely.
But all direct3d apps I try to run says that direct3d isn't enabled.
Aero doesn't work either.

I'm guessing it's due to my laptop graphics being Intel 915 graphics, and not supporting aero(the only directx9/SM2.0 compatible graphics that doesn't support aero).

That isn't what they were referring to. You cannot play D3d games on a laptop and use the graphics card in the windows 7 pc.

Would I be able to at least use my laptop graphics card? Say to play a game my laptop could easily run like UT.

When that feature comes it will just mean offloading, so the d3d processing is done by the client and not the host.

Ah so the feature isn't on Win7 yet? I have build 7600 RTM, albiet it's still not the final RTM build.
So when the feature is out, I should be able to play UT2004 remotely considering that my laptop can run it fine?

I'm not sure if its there or not, there are some features like multimedia redirection and flash support. Not sure if they are in d3d yet.
