openoffice slideshow shows only a tiny upper left corner of the slides

[Timo Juhani Lindfors]

View->Slide Show in openoffice.org shows only a tiny upper left corner of my slides.

My guess is that openoffice.org is trying to render the slides to the huge 3840x2560 Xvfb framebuffer.

It would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs when running against Xdummy, see #1 for details. (I'll try to find the time to test this) - there is a now a ticket for packaging Xdummy: #10

[Antoine Martin]

The only workable solution is to use Xdummy as per #10.

Another workaround is to start xpra with the --xvfb option and specify the screen dimension to match the client's exactly. But this falls apart if multiple clients with different resolutions try to connect, so use this option with caution.

Not much that can be done here, following up in #10 - closing.
