With what client? Great question. I tried the realvnc based xvncviewer and the problem did not occur. brad@bklaptop2:~$ xvnc4viewer --version VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.1 for X - built Apr 16 2008 13:02:40 Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd. See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC. This one dies horribly. Apparently on resolution change, but not certainly.. It does always die on a screen mode change though. brad@bklaptop2:~$ vncviewer --version TightVNC viewer version 1.2.9 Ubuntu package : xtightvncviewer from 8.04 I'm just building the latest tightvnc from source to see if the issue is fixed there, but xtightvncviewer from Ubuntu 8.04 will certainly kill it.
