hmm. x0vncserver starts up at 1024 x 768 but gives me the same black empty desktop that I was getting using Xvnc and running vncviewer on the client machine with display :1 . Just one big black-filled window with the spot cursor. No functionality whatsoever. I have just found out that the black screen is in fact a minimal installation of a minimalistic TWM that does NOT respond to mouse . So , like I said: No functionality whatsoever. I did manage to get a "working" TWM by starting the vncviewer at the GDM login and selection TWM as session. This seems to work as far as it goes and I could log out from TWM. So x0 does get a different screen size but still incorrectly , it should be 1366 x 768. Are both programs perhaps working from a preconceived list of screen geometries and trying to guess a nearest fit to this somewhat unusual size? If nothing else, all this should provide you with some test cases that don't seem to have been investigated yet. regrards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
