Broken out of bug 3055: ------- Comment #3 From Pierre Ossman cendio 2013-05-06 16:43:00 ------- Gnome 3 seems to have added even more magic in this area. Without any configuration at all, Gnome 3 on Fedora 19 (alpha) will try to resize things to 1920x1200. Not sure where it is getting this size from. It is the largest resolution in Xvnc's default list, so it might be that. It is probably trying to be clever and use the display's "native" resolution, and using the largest one when it cannot find an EDID. There are some settings under "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr" in dconf that might influence this. ------- Comment #6 From Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-11-03 15:49:26 ------- This seems to have to do with us not listing any preferred modes: https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/pull/57
Fixed in r30637.
Tested using client build 4854. Test case is; verify preferred mode using xrandr (the entry marked with +). Resizing vncviewer window should update the the preffered mode entry with correct window size. Resize of display resolution within session using tools shall not change preffered mode but only the current display. Tested using Gnome 3 (Fedora 22) and KDE (SLES11). Behaves correctly using singel monitor. Needs to be tested: Dual monitor handling.
