Hi, I've just been playing with vnc for the first time. I've been using xdmcp successfully, and didn't have a lot of motivation to switch to anything else. However, I *was* missing the ability to just leave a desktop session, and then connect to it from anywhere else on the network (I'm spoiled from heavy use of screen :-) ).
I've been successful in getting it running, but I have a practical beef with it. I'm hoping someone has a clever way to get around the fact that you start up the server with a specific geometry, and then the client has to display that size screen. I connect to this session from 2 desktop machines that have different resolution screens, and more often from a laptop that has a fairly small screen. Am I stuck with using a teensy window on my desktop machines, or else having a display that scrolls on the laptop? The session is already set to use the max resolution of the laptop display, and I'd prefer to avoid having to scroll/pan the display. I thought that setting up two servers could possibly help, but I have no idea if it's even possible to have them use the same session. The more I think about it, the less likely it seems.
