Hi,

I am currently using TightVNC to connect to multiple remote hosts in LAN. I start 16 VNC instances, set Scaling by: Auto (in connection options > display), set Hextile encoding, and then select all windows and use Tile Horizontally, which covers my entire screen with VNC screens.

It all works sort of nice, except that desktop interaction is really slow when there are more then 4 VNC clients.

My question is, does VNC client (not just TightVNC, but any compatible client) support some kind of smart scaling option, so that client tells server something along the lines of: "Okay, I'm displaying your entire screen in a window size 300x225 px, so can you please start sending encoded images on that resolution?", at which point interactiveness of open connections dramatically increase, and when I decide to go full screen on some connection, client and server re-negotiate and server starts sending full resolution images again?

Thanks!!
