为了使用任意分辨率（客户端的分辨率），我发现我需要创建一个新的显示会话（正确的术语？）。如果我使用显示器 0，我无法以任何分辨率启动 VNC 服务器，因为连接的显示器只有几种模式，而且没有一种与我的客户端的分辨率相同。
因此，为了启动创建新会话的 VNC 服务器，我使用以下命令启动 tightvnc：
vncserver :12 -name "MyServer" -geometry 1440x900
我有一个文件，~/.vnc/xstartup内容如下：
xmonad &
当我远程连接到服务器时，它会创建一个新会话，但据我所知，它不会运行 xmonad。我得到的是一个分辨率为 1440x900 的窗口，其中填充了黑白交叉阴影图案，并以 X 作为光标。似乎没有任何输入有任何效果。
相关tightvnc日志文件的内容如下

至于~/.vnc/xstartup运行时可能产生的任何错误，我不知道在哪里可以找到它们。
