Different Resolutions

[Harris, John R]

That wasn't the way I read the question.  It sounded to me as if he
wanted to run one resolution locally (on the 15" monitor) and different
resolution remotely (on the VNCviewer display).  Patently impossible, I'd
say.

Well yes, the vncviewer & vncserver machines have to have the same
resolution, but his question was:

If the server machine's resolution limitation is the *monitor*,
and the card can push further, then there's no reason why he
can't disconnect the monitor and up the res. Windows will run
happily without a monitor, though it's not really 'headless'.
The machine might complain at reboot, though that's usually BIOS
overridable.

...though I suspect it's his video card that's probably limiting
his res.
