Fix.

Description of problem:
With X220 notebook the hardware native resolution is 1366x768.
vncserver cannot create this resolution, forcing scrollbars for it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-1.1.0-2.fc16

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
vncserver -geometry 1366x768
vncviewer localhost:1
Make the vncviewer fullscren (XFCE "Toggle fullscreen" hotkey).

Actual results:
  dimensions:    1366x768 pixels (361x203 millimeters)
Scrollbars there: vncserver-bad.png

Expected results:
  dimensions:    1366x768 pixels (361x203 millimeters)
No scrollbars there: vncserver-good.png

Additional info:
I do not understand if there are some backward/bug compatibility reasons but the client version identification could be used in such case.
I find it really a pain for the user.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 10:20:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 08:57:39 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 5 Jan Kratochvil 2013-02-15 09:31:12 UTC
tigervnc-server-1.1.0-6.1.fc17.x86_64

vncserver -geometry 1366x768
and inside the VNC session:
xdpyinfo |grep dimen
  dimensions:    1368x768 pixels (362x203 millimeters)

1368 != 1366

Comment 6 Adam Tkac 2013-03-14 13:43:52 UTC
Fixed in upstream http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc?view=revision&revision=5061

I'm not going to fix this in F17 but it will be fixed in F18.
