Bug (1.0.8.2) : Screen cutoff at primary monitor dimensions

Post by tebulin »

Hi all!

First of all: Thank you for this great software!
I use UltraVNC since long time and it is the best working freely available VNC solutions.

Nevertheless I have two usage problem with the UltraVNC client:

1) I have a dual screen client (laptop: 1400x900 + 1900x1200) and want to connect to a server (vnc4server, 1680x1050).
If I drag the client window to my secondary monitor and expand it to full size, the remote screen is rendered
with black borders
in the area exceeding my primary monitor resolutions.
TighVNC clients et al. do not share this problem but are not UltraVNC ;-).

2) I'm unable to do use fullscreen mode on secondary monitors at all.

Is there a chance to get these issues fixed in 1.0.9?
Esp. the first problem sounds that it might be solved easily.

Thanks for your support!

- Ben

Hi redge! Thanks for your reply!
Just to make things clear: Only the Viewer window size is changed - not the remote desktop resolution. RANDR sounds like a feature to handle resolutions changes on the server side (which is not my issue).

I currently use tigervnc to be able to display the remote desktop correctly in a larger window.
