VNC always asks for a resolution but afaict setting it doesn’t do anything. Have other folx noticed the same thing?

Hi!  
Yep, as far as I know this feature is not working, it will always depend on the selectors that you can use in the connection zone.

Yea that’s strange. I can replicate and filed this bug upstream for 4.1.

Someone at the conference said this was fixed in response to [issue 2994](https://github.com/OSC/ondemand/issues/2994), so it may just be that it reverted back as development continued.

That’s compression & quality, not resolution. AFAIK resolution is the size of the screen, but since it doesn’t seem to work that’s just a guess. I guess quality relates to the number of pixels like resolution does but I do suspect they’re different, or at least meant to be.
