Noob question VNC connection - pcmm - 2017-01-05

Just installed open plotter and tried connecting to it with vnc and the desktop display is so low that I can't do anything. opening the network config window to set Ip information is too large for the desktop.  How do I fix I can't find any settings for display resolution?  such an easy bug to fix I think

How I solved it was to install tightvncserver.
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
and then run it:
tightvncserver

Then you connect to your.ip.adress:5901

If you google you also find out how to start this on boot.

You can use rdp to connect to openplotter. It use its own resolution. Or you use rpi configuration file /boot/config.txt and delete on some lines the #
(some lines of config.txt)
# uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
# overscan.
#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

# uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
