How to change the screen resolution when using RDesktop?

Solution 1:

I like using this command:

rdesktop -g 90% servername

Which will set the size of the remote desktop to 90% of the size of your local screen, which works quite well regardless of resolution.

Solution 2:

If you want to open the screen at a specific resolution, for example 1280×1024 resolution, add the -g flag:

rdesktop -g 1280x1024 <server_ip>

Solution 3:

This command gives you a full screen experience as well:

rdesktop -f
