I sometimes use NX to manage a desktop on a remote machine that has a higher
resolution than my local machine. Is it possible to somehow zoom (shrink)
the remote desktop so that it fits on my local machine's screen?
I see a couple of possiblities, probably none of which works:
* Perhaps, NX supports zooming out of the box. We're using NoMachine's client
and FreeNX as server.
* Perhaps, one could set up a separate X server that supports zooming of the
entire screen. I would use this X server when running "nxclient". The
machine with the low resolution, a laptop, has an ATI 9000 graphics chip.
* Perhaps, there's some X feature/extension or a "3rd party" program that
allows zooming of windows.
BTW, when using VNC, zooming of the desktop (shrinking) is possible with
"krdc".
