NoMachine NX client - shadow mode - different screen resolutions
 

Running the NoMachine NX client in "shadow mode" on a computer running at 1280x1024 and trying to view the desktop of a remote computer (server) running at 1920x1080

The remote screen is squashed down to fit into the clients dimensions, resulting in both horizontal and (slight) vertical compression. The result is unreadable/unuseable.

Is there a way to configure the client end to allow horizontal/vertical scrolling to see the entire remote desktop in its native resolution when in shadow mode? I can't find any way to accomplish this in the NoMachine documentation nor by playing around with the settings on the client end.

If I invoke the client end to create a new session (as opposed to a shadow session), then there is no problem, since I can set the desired resolution of the new session. But I would prefer a shadow session, so I can see what the remote user is doing and they can see what I'm doing. With a new session, we are both logged in to the same computer, but are independent of each other.

If the screen resolutions are flipped - i.e., the client is the one with the higher resolution screen than the server - no problem, you just see the remote servers desktop in a less than full sized window on the client.

Not that I believe it matters, but the client end is running Windows XP and the server end is running Linux (Xfce desktop).

Thanks in advance for any help.

This problem could be specific to XFCE; http://www.nomachine.com/ar/view.php?ar_id=AR12C00323
Need an account at the xfce forum to see the solution:P
