Hello everybody,
I would like to use X2Go to get access to my desktop remotely. The server has a two monitor setup and I would like to access this desktop through a laptop. So far the X2Go client has shrunk the display horizontally, which makes it hard to work with it. I am looking for a solution to overcome this issue. Currently both the server and the client runs Xubuntu 20.04 LTS.
There are two simple intuitive ways I can think of:
- show only one monitor and have a bindkey/button to switch between displays
- open the remote desktop in a window with scrollbars
Is there anything similar already implemented? Or are there any other ways to make using remote desktop with different display resolutions practical?
Thanks, Zoltan
Does this help? https://lists.x2go.org/pipermail/x2go-user/2020-June/006118.html

Hi Uli,
Unfortunately it has not solved my problem. Autograb and Ctrl-Alt-Shift is working. The screen gets noisy (similar to static TV noise from the analog broadcast era) after Ctrl-Alt-R for a second or so, but nothing is changed. I am using X2Go client 4.1.2.2 (Qt 5.12.8).

PS: I was looking in this part of the linked message:
If you startup the x2co connection you get a window with your desktop in a scaled version which makes it unusable. Now there are two possibilies: a) if you want to keep it in windowed mode press ctrl-alt-g (autograb) to ensure the keystrokes are not intercepted by your local desktop environment. b) switch to fullscreen mode with ctrl-alt-shift-f 3. switch to viewport mode with ctl-alt-r 4a) use ctrl-alt-<arrows> to scroll around in small portions 4b) use ctrl-alt-shoft-<arrows> to move around in big steps
