Use different screen resolution in vncviewer session from the server

  • 772

I have a 1920x1080 screen connected directly to my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS server.

I am connecting to it via vino (server side) and vncviewer (client side, Win 10). In my client, I have a 1366x768 screen.

Is there any way to adapt the screen resolution for the remote session (i.e., without changing the resolution in the server), so I don't have to scroll in the vncviewer session to access the whole screen?

PS: In the vncviewer connection options there is a tab Screen. There are two check boxes Resize remote session on connect (with a resolution of 1366 x 768 specified) and Resize remote session to the local window They appear to provide for the intended effect, but they do not.

PS2: There is some info on how to do this with vncserver, e.g. below. But I have found none for vino.

  1. What happens if you try

         vncserver -geometry 1366x768

    instead of sticking with the vino configuration? It's not the same as altering the system screen resolution, only the resolution put out by vnc.
