OK:. but when I start the server like # /etc/init.d/tvncserver start the script tries to read /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers somehow.. is this the way to go? I've changed the window size it looked as if the server did not care about that. And I do not unsderstand where the script passes the geometry to the binary in /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver >> 2. >> >> How may I get control back after pressing F8 and selecting "Fullscreen" >> lets me neither type anything in the TVNC window on the server nor do I >> see a way to communicate with TVNCviewer. > > Never seen this issue before.

Lets assume I have a 1900 x 1200 monitor. So my /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers looks like: VNCSERVERS="3:firstuser" VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1900x1200" (yes, I use 3 not 1 for local reasons) When I start tvncserver via /etc/init.d/tvncserver TurboVNC starts u, nicely, its window is (understandably) smaller than 1900x1200, everything seems to work just fine. Then when I press F8, the menu from TVNCviewer shows up. I click "Fullscreen" and then the fun starts: The leftmost 5 pixels of the screen still shows the Ubuntu background. The upmost pixels show Ubuntu's now apparently "undestructable" header line "Applications .... date / time ... username for logging out etc." The lowest 60 px or so of the screen are BLACK (except the abovementioned 5 px to the left). The rightmost 5px are BLACK as well (execpt the Ubuntu headerline) I do see the background of the remote machine, (it is RHEL) BUT I do not see the KDE menu in the bottom. I see neither a horizontal nor a vertical scroll handle or area with which I might be able to scroll around on the remote machine's desktop. Mouse actions get very well transferred and are visible, do the right actions etc. but the keyboard remains dumb. I am still somewhat able to start applications on the client machine, but it looks as if their interfaces appear behind the TVNC window so they remain unaccessible. That's why I can't even take a screenshot. The only option I have is to logout as a user on the client machine (Ubuntu), then, after 30 sec or so the apps and TVNCviewer get apparently killed, I may relogin. On Ubuntu 10.4 (which we had before) things went fine but occasionally we've had the same problem that the keyboard was not responding in the window on the remote machine. And I've never felt that I have much control on the window size the TVNCserver offers after tweaking /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers I hope this was sufficiently unclear.. :) The machine is a ZBOX HD-ID11 with ION graphics that runs fine with several Ubuntu (64bit) versions. Thanks Andreas
