Question: I use VNC to connect to a Linux workstation at work. At work I have a 20" monitor that runs at 1600x1200, while at home I use my laptop with its resolution of 1440x900.
If I set the vncserver to run at 1440x900 I miss out on a lot of space on my monitor, whereas if I set it to run at 1600x1200 it doesn't fit on the laptop's screen, and I have to scroll it all the time.

Is there any good way to resize a VNC session on the fly?

My VNC server is RealVNC E4.x (I don't remember the exact version) running on SuSE64.

Answer: 
Guys this is really simple.

login via `ssh` into your pi

execute 

```
vncserver -geometry 1200x1600

```

This will generate a new session `:1`

connect with your vnc client at `ipaddress:1`

Thats it.
I'm not sure about linux, but under windows, tightvnc will detect and adapt to resolution changes on the server. 

So you should be able to VNC into the workstation, do the equivalent of right-click on desktop, properties, set resolution to whatever, and have your client vnc window resize itself accordingly.
