To resize the VNC session window size

Fri Apr 11 15:32:01 2008

Claudio,

vncserver is just the Perl script wrapper for Xvnc. I don't think you
can pass multiple geometry options to the vncserver wrapper script
because it was designed when randr wasn't an option for Xvnc. So you
either have to modify the vncserver wrapper or the Xvnc command line in
the wrapper.

The easiest thing for me was to run vncserver with all my options the
way I wanted EXCECPT for the multiple geometry options. Then I spit out
the resulting command line by throwing a print statement in the
vncserver script. Then I just modified that Xvnc command with multiple
-geometry options. I don't think I used quotes though.

-Chris

Paresh,
was trying to do the same thing and stumbled upon this thread.
You can find vnc4_4.1.1+X4.3.0.orig.tar.gz
<http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/pool/main/v/vnc4/vnc4_4.1.1+X4.3.0.
orig.tar.gz>  here:
http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/pool/main/v/vnc4/
I had to patch manually (patch -p0 < ranrd.patch [chris patch] didn't
work ). And Was able to compile and get the Xvnc server with randr
extension.

Chris,
I run my new Xvnc server with

vncserver -geometry "1024x768"

and when I connect to it xrand output is:
 SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
*0   1024 x 768    ( 260mm x 195mm )  *60
Current rotation - normal
Current reflection - none
Rotations possible - normal
Reflections possible - none

How can I add more sizes ? I tried several -geometry options but nothing
worked.

Cheers,
Claudio
