How can I get a consistent resolution in the vncviewer

[sefsinc]

Hi all,

I wonder if is possible and can someone tell me.

I am using SC to give support to windows machines. I am on linux and forced to use tightvnc, but the sroll bars are no good when the remote system has a resolution bigger than the vncviewer window. I don't want to use full screen.

Is it possible to have the vncviewer downgrade the resolution to 800x600 all the time no matter the actual resolution of the remote system?

Actually is this also possible with the unvc viewer on windows as well?

Thanks.

Have a look

No, as my knowledge,
but you can use autoscaling on vncviewer for see full screen of your remote to your local computer.

How can I make use of autoscaling. Is it a setting with the vncviewer?

vncviewer GUI checkbox [V]Auto Scaling


vncviewer CLI: vncviewer server -autoscaling

very good...

since i am using uvnc SC with xtightvncviewer on linux is there away to do this for xtightvncviewer?

Infact does it even work with vncviewer.

Because I just tried both with -autoscaling parameter but no cigar

Maybe i don't understand your request ?
My english is very limited.

as my knowlege, at this date, this could be change anytime
autoscaling is not yet available on extend tightvnc viewer on linux.

Thanks very much....that's it, I believe, it's does not look to be supported as yet.

In the SSVNC current development/testing version (1.0.21) there is now viewer-side scaling for linux/unix. It is experimental, and so I suggest using x11cursor because it is less prone to crashes in that mode. Also, unfortunately, the scaling is done in software so it is a little slow.

I can't remember exactly how the uvnc 'autoscaling' works, but in the above ssvnc vncviewer you can set the scaling to any ratio you want, or WxH, or use 'fit' to fill the current screen.

If you try it let me know how it goes. BTW, if you need to run it w/o encryption, prefix the vnc host with "vnc://"

Server site scaling does a downscale (server site) and upscale (viewer site).
Server 800x600 -> 400x300
viewer 400x300 -> 800x600

The result is fuzy, but generate 1/4 of the normal data. (pc viewer)
For small screens (pocket pc) who can't display a full screen without scaling, the screen result is the same, but data is 25%.

Thanks krunge will google this later as not too sure what SSVNC is.

Rudi, what were you referring too ... I am not too sure...SSVNC or UVNC.

Thanks krunge will google this later as not too sure what SSVNC is.

See redge's post #2 above.
