Description of problem:
vncserver / Xvnc ignores -geometry and  -screen scrn ...
always sets 1920x1200, what is furthermore not the documented
default (1024x768)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-5.fc17.x86_64


How reproducible:
start a vncserver, connect and look and run xdpyinfo


Steps to Reproduce:
1. prompt# vncserver -geometry 1000x800   (or whatever) (
2. prompt# vncviewer :1

Comment 1 Albert Flügel 2012-08-27 14:25:41 UTC

This was a misunderstanding, sorry. I found now, that GNOME3 by default
uses the RANDR extension of an Xserver to change the resolution and
there seems no way to keep GNOME3 from doing this. So starting vncserver /
Xvnc with option -extension RANDR prevents the resizing.

When i connected the vncviewer, the resize was already done and i
did not try with any other window manager. So i did not see, that
initially Xvnc sets the correct resolution and later changes due to
request.
