[X2Go-User] [newb] display size ignored

[Roderick Johnstone]

I wonder if we should take this discussion to another thread as the 
subject here is misleading now (my fault for mentioning  the keyboard 
issue in this thread.)

@Mike(DePaulo)
Many thanks. I'll look out for the new Windows client builds.

@Mike(Gabriel)
Am I going to need recent nightly builds of the server as well? I'm 
currently using the RPMS from the Fedora 20 repository maintained by 
Orion. Current version is x2goserver-4.0.1.9-2.fc20.x86_64.

Thanks both.

Roderick
