How can I configure a custom display resultion for xrdp sessions? I want the session to use all the display size, minus few lines for the original decorations. that will be around 1920x1050, a resultion that isn't available in xrandr.
I'm using i3 as wm, so there is no GUI or DE configuration tool.
I don't have rep to upvote or comment on schaiba's answer, but in Fedora 19, disabling xrandr is a workaround to force the resolution.
sudo yum install -y dconf-editor dconf-editor
browse to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins > xrandr and uncheck Active
I can now connect using rdesktop and force a resolution.
rdesktop -g 800x600 192.168.1.xxx
OK, following schaiba's link to the bug report, I have created .sh script with the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --newmode "1920x1040_60.00" 165.50 1920 2040 2240 2560 1040 1043 1053 1079 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VNC-0 "1920x1040_60.00"
xrandr -s 1920x1040
after chmod +x the file and putting it in my ~/.vnc folder it gets executed when I login with xrdp.
Reading the docs I can't really see such option for xrdp's command line or xrdp.ini, but what I do see is Fedora bug #973486, which might help you. Looks like a bug in gnome-settings-daemon and the suggested workaround is disabling the xrandr plugin in g-s-d.
