Howdy William,

I believe you are mistaken on this one point or I am not understanding 
what you are saying. When I check the vncserver options on my Linux 
(RHEL3.x) server I see

> vncserver -h

usage: vncserver [:<number>] [-name <desktop-name>] [-depth <depth>]
                 [-geometry <width>x<height>]
                 [-pixelformat rgbNNN|bgrNNN]
                 <Xvnc-options>...

       vncserver -kill <X-display>

and if I look at the man page for vncserver I also see a section on 
-geometry that says


       -geometry widthxheight
              Specify  the  size  of  the  desktop  to  be created.     
          Default is 1024x768.

When I do a simple 
   vncserver -geometry 1024x768
to force that size, then, when I connect with my vncviewer from a WinXP 
machine (running 1280x1024) I see a window that is less than full 
screen. If I click on the full-screen button in the top right of the 
window frame, it expands to full screen, but the vnc window remains the 
same size and is bordered by black.

When I look at the vncserve script I believe it is starting Xvnc behind 
the scenes and is passing the -geometry parameter to that. Give it a 
try and let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks,
Alan D.
