Description Peteris Krisjanis 2007-09-14 15:29:26 UTC 
Main reason what keeps me using VNC client on Linux boxes is lack of scaling in clients. Yes, I have to connect to stations with 1600x1200 and they simply don't fit in my home monitor.
Comment 1 Björn Martensen 2007-12-19 15:13:55 UTC 
i'd love to see scaling too, as my laptop only has a 1024x768 screen.
imho scaling is the most important feature missing atm.
Comment 2 chris roddy 2008-02-22 16:20:01 UTC 
As a GNOME user I would really love to see this implemented. For me, scaling is the sole deciding factor in choosing a VNC client and is the reason I stick with Krdc.
Comment 3 Jonh Wendell 2008-02-22 16:27:06 UTC 
Yes, Vinagre will support this. gtk-vnc already supports this.

I just didn't put it in vinagre yet because of GNOME's freezes.

I'll do that for next cycle, just after GNOME 2.22 is released.
Comment 4 Jonh Wendell 2008-03-14 18:20:50 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 5 Jonh Wendell 2008-03-24 13:04:55 UTC 
This is implemented in "unstable" branch, because it needs the development version of gtk-vnc.

In a near future, I'll merge this branch with trunk.

Comment 8 Sven Arvidsson 2008-05-15 12:30:53 UTC 
I tried the scaling support in 2.23.2, but it only seems to scale up, not down. Is this a bug or a limitation of the scaling support?
Comment 9 Jonh Wendell 2008-05-15 12:40:13 UTC 
Hi, Sven. This is currently a limitation. Please, file a new bug against vinagre, component gtk-vnc about that. Thanks.
Comment 10 Peteris Krisjanis 2008-05-15 13:01:59 UTC 
John, just a question here - downscaling will be available for 2.24? Or it is very tricky to do?

Already thanks for answer, waiting for new bug to subscribe ;)
Comment 11 Sven Arvidsson 2008-05-15 14:56:10 UTC 
The downscaling request is filed as bug 533282.
