GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 359294
vino does not respond to changes in desktop resolution
Last modified: 2007-02-02 14:37:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: I had vino enabled at login time. After logging into gnome, I changed my resolution from 1280x720 to 1920x1080. The next time I tried to vnc in, my desktop resolution was at 1920x1080, but the size of the vncviewer window was only 1280x720. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable the vino server (Preferences->Remote Desktop) 2. Log in at one resolution and then alter your desktop resolution via Preferences->Screen Resolution. 3. From another display, load up your desktop in vncviewer. Actual results: The size of the vncviewer window will be as if the desktop was at the old resolution, although the displayed screen is actually at the newer resolution (not sure what happens if the new resolution is smaller than the old, but I see another bug relating to crashing when changing resolution...) Expected results: vino should notice that the resolution was changed and update accordingly. Note I'm not talking about live updates (like I changed the resolution while in vncviewer, although that would be nice too), but it should at least display correctly the next time a vnc connection is made. Does this happen every time? I believe so. Other information: The workaround is to disable vnc from preferences and then re-enable it.
I'm sorry, i have marked this one as confirmed, my mistake. By the way, this one is very similar to bug 357778. My guess is that is a duplicate, but we only can confirm when we find out where the bug is :)
OK, really it's a duplicate of bug 357778, which was fixed today. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 357778 ***
