Different resolutions?

Hi all,

I use my desktop to play movies a lot - connected to my tv via an all-in-wonder card. For that, I have to have the desktop on low resolution (1024x768 iirc).

I use my laptop to ultravnc to the desktop to control the movies n crap like that (from the comfort of my couch). Because of the low resolution the desktop is on, I get a crappy-looking vnc screen. My laptop is 1400x1050. The vnc screen i on the laptop takes up the whole lcd panel, and the image quality is like if you had a 10k jpg blown up to take up your entire screen (blocky, diagonal lines are "staircase" like, etc...

Is there something I can do with ultravnc that lets me keep the server on lo-res, but makes hi-res on the client side? Or at least a physically smaller window on the client side (thus making it look better)?

Thanks for any ideas!

In the viewer of both RC_19 and RC_18 you can configure it to auto scale the screen down by 75% ect. Making the window smaller and in effect not making the window look so distored.

I think this is what you are looking for?

Mebbe - lemme try it!

EDIT: Perfect! Thanks! Actually, I had autoscaling switch turned on in my shortcut, and getting rid of it fixed everything without having to specify an n/m scale explciitly.

Thanks again!
