Hi.

I'm running a FreeNX server on headless CentOS machine, and the resolution seems to be locked on 800 x 600. I tried editing the xorg.conf file, but without success so far.

Has anyone succeed of running the FreeNX remote under 1280 x 1024 resolution, and can post a working configuration?

Thanks!

P.S.: Here is the pastebin of my current xorg.cof file: http://pastie.org/835308

Why do I get Unity instead of Classic when using NX?
