    Anyway to increase screen size Remote (on LAN) Windows VM


    Hi folks

    I'm connecting to a remote Windows VM from a Centos 7 machine via RDESKTOP.

    Connection is fine -- SSL is good but Screen size is fixed -- anybody know of parameters how to change it --

    On the Centos machine the windows desktop is too small --but at least the connection works !!.

    Hi there

    Found the answer -- use parameter -f for full screen (ctrl alt enter to exit full screen) or -g% for % of local screen to use or nnnn X nnnn for resolution.

    Cheers

  2. Anyway to increase sms text font size in windows HD7..

    How this feature was overlooked is stupid and dumb, really poor design, as it is a core functionality of a phone. The first thing my dad told me, when he called me on the his new windows phone, was that the text was really small and hard to read, so being
    a developer myself, I instantly thought and told my dad to look for a options menu to resize the text or try pinching the screen and moving his fingers apart, to zoom the text. He called me back and said, what were you on about, little did I realise this action
    or menu item was not in there, as a feature, and when I got to use a windows phone myself. I had seen, how small the text was, for the end user. The font is too tiny, for people with bad eye sight. How this got into a production line, I don't want to know.
    It should be fixed now and updates released.

    Anyway to increase sms text font size in windows HD7..

    200% agreed. It's a shame to release such a stupid phone. I bought one for my mom, and she found it is too hard to read the SMS and phone number and the pinyin IME. Not only her, I also feel disgusting when seeing such tiny text. Unlike in many other countries,
    in China, you cannot return the phone, so I was actually fooled by Microsoft to buy such a stupid brick-like phone.

    Anyway to increase screen size Remote (on LAN) Windows VM

    I use xfreerdp to remote from CentOS to Windows, setting resolution in command line:

    xfreerdp -g 1600x900 -u WindosPC_Name_Or_IP

    @Kari

    Thanks --that works too

    For the OTHER way around - Windows--> Linux -- although not actually relevant to this post -- it does seem that tigervnc (server) is broken in latest CENTOS release (7.3 / 7.4) - but I don't need it as there are alternative methods such as bog standard RDP.

    I only need the command line - so a GUI isn't required by me FROM Windows. Putty is a good way though of making a secure connection FROM Windows as it has SSL and tunnelling facilities (and of course FREE !!)..

    On a Windows client (for example a Laptop) to access the Linux server bog standard RDP works provided XRDP is up and running on the Linux server. I use this sometimes if I need to connect to a NAS server (running Linux) which I have running headless.

    There's also an android app I can use to enter commands using a mobile phone to connect --don't need a GUI from a mobile phone though !! SSL is the best way and simply use the command line.

    It seems a shame that most Windows users seem very scared to use command line -- it's not that difficult --even in Windows !!!!.

    Cheers
