Let's refer to specific use cases. In your original post, it sounded to me like you had a native resolution of 1280x1024 and wanted to use that in tsclient.
In my case on my primary laptop, I'm on a 1024x600 native resolution. I think it'd be useful if tsclient were to list 1024x600, but I would still by likely to use 800x600. In any case, my xorg.conf lists ONLY 1024x600, simply because I know it works and I don't need anything else to fall back to. In my case on my secondary laptop, I'm on a 1400x1050 native resolution. My xorg.conf list 1400x1050, and it may or may not list a few other resolutions, like 1280x1024. However, I'd be likely to connect with tsclient at the already available 1280x960, that way there's some headroom for my top and bottom gnome-panels to (hopefully) fit in. Then, consider a user that installs XGL or some other X server, or maybe just has an xorg.conf somewhere else for *some* reason. Then, it no longer makes any sense to read /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and the user would get no benefit from this change. -- Few resolution options https://launchpad.net/bugs/63412 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
