Problems with display resize over RDP connections

2010-04-28 Thread Raul Acevedo
At work, my display is at 1280x1024. When I RDP from home, I have a bigger screen so my work computer's desktop is resized to 1920x1200. When this happens, X applications cannot display anything below 1024 pixels; below 1024 pixels nothing is displayed, and you can see the other application

Re: Problems with display resize over RDP connections

2010-04-28 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
My understanding is that the X server inherits the properties of the screen it's started on. For example, if you normally have 2 monitors, and for some reason only 1 monitor is active, and you start Xwin there, if you then active the 2nd monitor, you can't move your Xterm window over there
