Re: Disruptive screen resolution change when using remote desktop

And as far as i know there is no real solution for this problem, because the screen depth (amount of colors) changes when using the remote desktop (reduces to 16 Bit). Maybe setting the desktop to 16 Bit and using the same resolution will help, but i haven't tried. --- Burvil [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I have my Cygwin/X set up with a root window running the fluxbox window manager on my desktop.

Disruptive screen resolution change when using remote desktop
