Hi,
I'm working with a laptop which is sometimes connected to an LCD
screen. Laptop is running Windows. The desktop is extended to the LCD
screen.
The laptop resolution is 1024x768, the LCD is working at 1280x1024.

I'd like to be drag the VNC client window from the laptop to the LCD
and have it change resolution dynamically. Of course this means the
vncserver (running remotly on a Sun-Solaris station) must be able to
change desktop resolution dynamically.

In 2004 we were told it could not be done:

In 2005 we were told it could *still* not be done (but that hope was
on the horizon):

Any change in status? Is it possible now? If yes, how?

Waiting with crossed-fingers :)

Thanks,
