My default value seems to be 800x600. Since all my clients run 1024x768 it's
never been a problem for me.  What is your desktop size?  In any case you
should have scroll bars on the edges of the window to find the start menu. I
will consider adding a user setting (in the input box) to the next version
of fl_tt to set the window size for the broadcast. If you don't like the way
it works now I can send you a  hard coded version of my source to always
give you the resolution you want.


the VNC display refers to TightVNC. I've almost got it working for the
