Dear DRC, My client is on a MacBookPro M1. I’ve installed TurboVNC viewer, RealVNC and the embedded screen Sharing. All of them present the same error when I try to connect using the -geometry 1440x900 option. I tried another things: using the -geometry with many resolutions; here is the report: 1200x900 working! 1300x900 working! 1400x900 working! 1440x900 not working (waht I’ve always used before) 1920x1080 not working 1200x1080 working! 1728x1117 working! (my halved 16inches resolution monitor)
So I honestly think that the problem is in some strange combination of resolutions. Hope this can help! Best regards!
