vncserver is what I use. You can set the display size on the server and
the quality is set by the client connection.
Hello,
thanks for the fast answer. The machine we are connecting and exporting
the display, is a virtual machine, which is shared by several members of
a team. They are travelling and sometimes the connection is not that
fast, so I am looking for a way to decrease the quality of the exported
display. For example, rdesktop has options "-g" and "-a", for
geometry
and colour depth respectively. I can not find such option for
firefox/chrome, so I was looking for another way to control it, probably
like a shell variable.
I will look into vncserver meanwhile.
Regards,
