When viewing a laptop with wide monitor and probably Nvidia graphics adaptor over VNC, the screen is displayed as a parallelogram instead of a rectangle. What used to be vertical lines, is displayed diagonally to the right. This happened on two different makes of laptops, a Sony Vaio and Acer, both with wide screens and the Acer has a Nvidia graphics card. The laptops had Windows 7 installed. Another Windows XP Compaq laptop's graphics appears fine. This happened over a VPN connection, using NetworkManager as well as PPPD. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.(Optionally?) connect to a VPN where a remote Windows 7 laptop with wide screen is located. 2.Connect to the laptop using its IP on the remote network, by VNC on KRDC. 3.See a skewed display of the laptop's desktop. Actual Results: The remote laptop's desktop appeared skewed - vertical lines appeared diagonal to the right. Expected Results: The remote laptop's desktop should appear rectangular, as with all other computers accessed on VNC. It is not sure whether Windows 7 on the remote computer could contribute to the problem, but it seems like a wide screen remote laptop and / or perhaps a Nvidia card on the remote laptop cause the problem. This problem appeared in earlier version(s) of KRDC as well.
Can you please post a screenshot?
Created attachment 95371 [details] View of a laptop with wide screen
This is a view of the wide screen laptop, showing Outlook 2010's explorer view.
Can you reproduce this issue also with another VNC client?
Neither Real VNC nor UltraVNC on Windows have this issue. The screen appears normal on those clients.
