[opensuse] Changing Remote Administration screen resolution
The default Screen resolution for Remote Administration is set to 1024x768. I presume this is from the setting in file /etc/xinetd.d/vnc. I would like the option to switch to a higher resolution, and the above file seems to allow for such things. I have enabled the higher res option on port 5902 in the above file, (default is disabled) opened 5902 in the firewall, and restarted X. However I cannot connect to my server on 5902 (5901 works fine). Anyone know what bit I have missed? -- Tim Nicholson http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Think I have managed to answer my own question, Restarting X :~> /usr/sbin/rcxdm restart Doesn't seem to be enough, but a full shutdown reboot does it. Now being linux that is a very messy way to do it, so I guess I need to restart something else to make it all work! -- Tim http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Have fun, Frank
