f16, vncserver, screen geometry

It has moved and now has a different format.  Copy /lib/systemd/system/vncserver at .service to /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service (change :1 to whatever vnc display number you want to use), and then edit it to have the correct username.  I use the following lines in mine:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1100x900
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i

where %i is the username defiend earlier in the file.

add the geometry argument as above.

[I am thinking there may have been another step or two to add the customized file to systemctl, but it escapes me at the moment.]

Note that in my experience, vncserver does not start properly as part of system boot.  I have to login over ssh and issue the systemctl start command by-hand.  Another poster told me they had a similar problem, and use a cron job to make sure it is started.
