while using tightvnc the host computer resolution cannot be changed

Question

So when I connect my computer through vnc, the host computer displays the resolution of 640x480. Going to screen resolution, the display is set to "display device on: Mobile PC Display" the host computer is not plugged into a monitor but that should not even matter, as I am connected using vnc using a tightvnc client. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Accepted Answer

You need to specify the resolution when you start the tightvnc session on the server

```
tightvncserver -geometry WIDTHxHEIGHT -depth XX :1
```
