<P><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think this is one of the fundamental
shortcomings of the vnc protocal (other than the inherent slowness when
compared to other programs like it, like the windows's rdp protocal).
Also, unlike the windows RDP protocal, you can't set it to run at
different resolutions when you log in. I think it may be because when you
run a vnc session it is really more like a screen sharing
session.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>You could just have another vnc session
going. No need to run an NX server. That's what i do. My tv is also set at
640x480, so i have a vnc server setup that runs at my laptop's resolution
(1280x1024) so i get full screen on the laptop whenever i want to vnc
in.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<DIV> </DIV></DIV>I am currently using x11vnc (I believe this is what the
Mythbuntu control center installs). Do you use vnc4server to accomplish the
setup you described. That sounds like the setup I want.<BR>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=453534218-14112008>i use vncserver and
just run a vncserver on port 5901. Then when you open the vnc server which i
do from a startup user script, you can specify the resolution and color depth.
The session stays open even after you close the vnc window which is really
nice. Sometimes i'll start a task from the office, then go home and finish it
on the laptop.</SPAN></FONT></P>
