Michael, When I'm at my desk, I have my CRT set to 1280x1024, but when I undock my laptop, I drop down to 1024x768. As a result, I use "-geometry 980x700" in my VNC session, so that I can guarantee it will fit on either screen. Otherwise, I'd have to deal with the issues you had, or run VNC in full screen mode.
Certainly, if you can get a larger monitor, that's your best bet, but if you have any control over the VNC sessions, and just make them a bit smaller as I have done, it might help. Good Luck, AJ >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Wouldn't it be nice... >Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2002 16:23:41 -0400 > > OK guys, only slightly off topic.
