And then, it might even not. To avoid problems with the terms, its better to use the terms viewer and service.

The first configuration of vnc in combination with inetd I have seen (over 10 years ago) already provided this choice. There it was the portnumber that set the resolution and colordepth. By head it was (roughly) as follows: The inetd configuration has a line to start Xvnc for the next combinations: port 5950 starts xvnc with 640x480, 8 bits color port 5951 starts xvnc with 640x480, 16 bits color port 5952 starts xvnc with 640x480, 24 (or 32?) bits color port 5960, xvnc 800x600, 8 bits port 5961, xvnc 800x600, 16 bits port 5962, xvnc 800x600, 24 bits Or use the next scheme 8 bits: 5950 640x480 5951 800x600 5952 1024x768 5953 1200x1024 16bits: 5960 640x480 5961 800x600 5962 1024x768 5963 1200x1024 24/32 bits: 5970 640x480 5971 800x600 5972 1024x768 5973 1200x1024 In the end, using the 59xx series let you use vncviewer with both display numbers (50, 51, 52...) and portnumbers.
