Comment 11 for bug 148056

So can you then make the screen resolution applet work when there is no local monitor? Or should I report that as a bug too? The only reason I tried the old "screens and graphics" thing is because the SR applet has all choices greyed out when there is no local monitor. So I still have no way to adjust my screen size while working over VNC.

Thanks,
Brad
