That's true and documented somewhere in the vnc documentation: Every geometry is respected but silendly rounded upwards to a proper power of 2. This is due to internal optimalization. This is because the compressions need a nice number of squares of some size to not have to deal with half squares. > I tried > > vncserver -nolisten local -nevershared \ > -geometry 1394x987 -localhost -depth 24 > > and got > > $$> xdpyinfo | grep dimension > dimensions: 1396x988 pixels (473x334 millimeters). > > Weird, eh? I was in the impression the X size was silently rounded upwards to multiples of 8 in both ways but you just show me the number I had in mind was wrong, at least in the y direction.
