  <p>I just would like to know with new VNC version 5.0, <strong>how we can access and change the running parameters by command line ?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Indeed using RealVNC 4.x, it was possible using vncconfig, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>%&gt; vncconfig -set RandR=1600x1200,1280x1024
  %&gt; vncconfig -get RandR
  1600x1200,1280x1024
  %&gt; xrandr
  SZ:    Pixels          Physical       Refresh
  *0   1920 x 1200   ( 488mm x 305mm )  *0   
   1   1600 x 1200   ( 406mm x 305mm )   0   
   2   1280 x 1024   ( 325mm x 260mm )   0    
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But since 5.0 there is no more vncconfig executable... as explained into ReleaseNote:</p>
  
  <p><em>"5.0.0, released 7th June 2012 VNC Server no longer requires a separate vncconfig utility in order to permit configuration and operations such as file transfer and copy and paste text. "</em></p>
  
  <p>But even if we can still change RandR parameter "manually" through graphic utility called "vncserverui" -> Options -> Expert -> RandR but it seems, <strong>there is no more possibility to change it through command line</strong> like it was in 4.x with vncconfig !?!</p>
  
  <p>However I tried to use new executables like that but without any success :</p>
  
  <pre><code>%&gt; vncserverui -set RandR=1024x768

  <p>So How can we do ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
