I'm a xRDP user. I have configured my xRDP using this tutorial.

Everything work fine and I am able to connect to my Linux workstation using windows 7 RDP client (My laptop). xRDP startx to kde.

My MOST important problem is that:

Monitor of my laptop has native resolution of 1280*800. When I remote destop to kde, I see kde in a different (smaller) resolution. Is there a way to define screen resolution for xRDP or TigerVNC?

You can instruct a VNC server to use a particular geometry when you start it. However, unless it supports RandR, you cannot change it after it is running.

Aftering reading the first page of the fine manual, it looks like the -geometry option will do what you want.

Probably you need the USEe flag +doc for that package - otherwise an alternative didn't you look at the home page of tigervnc ?

I think I should look for the manual of /etc/conf.d/tigervnc configuration file. It seems this configuration file is Gentoo specific and there is no -geometry option for this file.

Hi keivan,
example needed?
Code:
# grep VNC_OPTS /etc/conf.d/tigervnc
VNC_OPTS="-depth 24 -geometry 2500x1400 -interface 127.0.0.1 -nolisten tcp"

Since you want to affect the VNC server, man vncserver. Per convention, the manual page is named after the command that is executed, not the package that provides the command.

There is no USE=doc for net-misc/tigervnc. The manual page is always installed.

Per convention, that file is just options used by /etc/init.d/tigervnc when it runs vncserver. The example given by user looks like it should work fine.

This doesn't work for me.
I have on /etc/conf.d/tigervnc
Code:
DISPLAYS="to:1"
VNC_OPTS="-depth 24 -geometry 1024x768"


And on /home/to/.vnc/xstartup
Code:

#!/bin/sh
XSESSION=Gnome
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=gnome-
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
#[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session &


And I endup with a screen 1.5 x over my screen connecting remotly and my screen is a 1650x1080 .... Any clues?
