Hi,
I am connecting to my remote machine using X2Go. So far everything works fine but I can't figure out one detail. Namely the remote PC has two monitors attached with resolutions 1920x1200 and 1600x1200. This results in desktop resolution 3520x1200. My local desktop resolution is 2560x1440. Both PCs are running Linux.
I have created a new session in X2Go Client with type set to 'Connect to local desktop'. No matter what resolution I set in session preferences, client creates a window with size 1921x1200.
The contents of the remote desktop is scaled down to fit into that window. This is pretty much unusable since the remote desktop's resolution is so big. I expected it to create window with scroll bars and no scaling.
Enabling or disabling Xinerama extension in session preferences does not help either. With it enabled I see content of both monitors, with it disabled I see content of one monitor with the remaining part of the remote desktop being blacked out.
I checked all command line options and I could not find anything that would hint at solving my issue.
Thanks for your help, Darko
You can switch to viewport mode and then move the view, see README.keystrokes.gz in the nxagent package. In short:
ctrl-alt-r toggles viewport and desktop mode ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down (or keypad 4,6,8,2) will move the visible area. Add shift to scroll instead.
Does that help?

Hi Uli,
that does fix things, thank you very much. I was not aware of the keyboard shortcuts.
Kind regards, Darko
