On Fedora 17 with Gnome 3, I try to start a vncserver with

$ vncserver -geometry 1024x768

to start a vnc server with geometry 1024x768.

However, after I connect to the vnc server, the resolution is not 1024x768. I change the geometry to other resolution and the actual resolution is not changed.

I changes the desktop environment for vnc server to twm and the geometry takes effect.

Does anyone have the same problem with me? And any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Gnome (and other modern DE:s) have the tendency to resize your VNC session. The reason being that when a user logs in to his machine the "normal" way, he/she generally wants the resolution they had the last time restored.

In Gnome's case, these settings are stored in ~/.config/monitors.xml. Try moving that out of the way and see if it improves.
