[Bug 331456] Re: Vinagre bug 331456
Hello Jon, and it was a good one! I noticed that, with scaling switched ON and in full-screen mode, the resolution took a hit on my display. Also that, if I kept in full-screen mode and switched OFF the scaling again: 1) Resolution was restored 2) Vinagre remained stable in full-screen mode. You can switch off scaling without leaving full-screen mode by moving the cursor to the top of the screen to reveal the vinagre full-screen control panel. Then click on the magnifying glass icon. Best of all worlds! Thanks again.

The trick is to use ZoneScreen to create a 'virtual' monitor and VNC to copy the contents from one pc to another. I have the VNC client on read-only and panned complete to the right so the visible area perfectly covers the ZoneScreen-monitor. This works flawless, even thought the total screen is rather big (1024 + 1920 + 1600 x 1200), the 100Mbit LAN handles it just fine, I assume it's smart enough to only send through the 'useful' bits. However, more often than not when I try to go full-screen, it seems a 1600x1200 'square' is assigned to VNC (= (native) resolution of the Ubuntu desktop), but it's not properly positioned at (0, 0) but instead seems to try to put itself somewhere on top of the INSIDE of the non-fullscreen (aka windowed) screen. Hence I keep to see the Ubuntu tool-bar on top of the screen, and part of the windows-screen 'falls of the bottom'. Sometimes it helps when I make the windowed version a lot smaller and then try to move it around the screen randomly and try to go full-screen (F11) again : it might jump into the correct position, but it usually takes a lot of tries... I have not found any logic in it (yet), but it seems the offset is (almost) always the top-left position of the windowed-version. Another trick is to move the VNC application to another desktop and try there... again, sometimes it works, often it doesn't. Hope this makes sense, I've included 2 screenshots to make it a bit more clear. Feel free to ask for more details via email. Thanks for making the effort to look at this !

Hi Geoff, FYI, I noticed the resolution degraded [slightly] also, I thought it was just an artifact of my small laptop screen. John dofinch-smo...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Hello Jon, and it was a good one!
