I just noticed - any arguments which realvncserver doesn't recognise are passed on to Xnvc, so using "vncserver -dpi 100" would have worked before my fix. It wouldn't have been possible to put the value in ~/.vncrc and have it recognised, so it's probably still worth applying the patch. I've attached a patch for vnc.conf and the vnc.conf man page, documenting this dpi setting, and fixing a few little problems with the formatting of the man page. Looking at the package source, there are a couple of man pages in the vnc_3.3.7-12.diff file which aren't used, since the debian/rules file has their install commands commented out: # install -o root -g root -m 644 debian/Xvnc.1x \ # $(CURDIR)/debian/vncserver/usr/share/man/man1/Xvnc.1x and # install -o root -g root -m 644 debian/xvncviewer.1x \ # $(CURDIR)/debian/xvncviewer/usr/share/man/man1/xrealvncviewer.1x The upstream man pages are used in place of them, so are they needed in the patch? Also, the word "plattforms" appears 3 times in the diff, and should only have 1 "t". Also, "dsigned" should be "designed" (twice) and "in tha man" should be "in the man" (once).
