Then they I guess they are setting up the Xvnc window size with the Compiz scale plugin. I do not know if the guru is remoting in from another computer or just, in essence, remotely connecting into their own computer (in a type of loopback situation?) and using the Xvnc application to do it. You could think of it as a window where you are viewing what is going on with the other computer as you remotely control the other computer.
It's basically an app whereby one connects and controls a second computer. I am familiar with VNC being used to remote into a computer. The link you provided earlier about information about scaling modes on the archwiki uses xrandr to set the size.

I also asked the resident Linux-guru member of the Fate/stay night Ultimate Edition fan-patch/translation project that I help out with (Fate/stay night originally being one such 800圆00 visual novel from the mid-2000s), but his response was kind of over my head as his Linux skills are on a whole 'nother level and I've no idea if it's even applicable to Mint: If you want an actual downloadable example of such a VN, the following is a small (67MB) freely available 640x480 VN that seems to "just work" in WINE v7.x (click "get" from the header bar for the actual download):

Oh and for reference, these are 32bit x86 programs typically designed for Windows XP to Windows 7. Since my monitor seems to handle weird non-standard custom resolutions just fine, I've kind of figured out some work-arounds running these VNs in windowed mode and my monitor running a custom resolution that is of the same aspect ratio as its native resolution (so on a 1440x900 monitor, you'd run a custom resolution of 768x480 when running a 640x480 VN), but that itself has revealed a couple of issues with cropped windows (XFCE) and panels not hiding (Cinnamon) that I plan on making separate threads about. Furthermore, being heavily text-based means that running them in a window is sub-optimal as that would similarly make the text small.
Basically I'm a fan of visual novels more-so than anime, and a lot of quality VNs from the 2000s ran at either 640x480 or 800圆00 in exclusive fullscreen (they can run in windowed as well, but the "borderless window" style of fullscreen wasn't really a thing yet). It's not one specific program but rather a whole slew of programs.

Tue 7:41 pmI do not know what software you are wanting to run, but if it is something that might be game-based, the only thing which comes to mind which might help is RetroPie. (speaking of xrandr, the part about an external monitor is because I read some stuff about preserving aspect ratios via xrandr that only works on laptops and not desktop monitors)ĮDIT: I'm using Intel Haswell aka 4th gen integrated graphics. xrandr, WINE, etc) that would similarly achieve the desired result. Running the software in a window is possible but a less-than-ideal solution (not to mention that a 640x480 window is quite small).įor reference, on Windows since the XP days, I could just use "GPU scaling" (even on Intel integrated graphics) to achieve the result I'm looking for, but I don't know if something like that even exists on Linux or if there's some other, non-GPU-based solution (e.g. And, like many DVI monitors, the built-in scaling options on my monitor are basically non-existent and it always just stretches the displayed resolution across the entire screen without preserving the source aspect ratio (In fact, this occurs even if I just change my desktop resolution through the display options in Mint itself). I'm trying to run older software that I want to run in 640x480 and/or 800圆00 in fullscreen, but my DVI-connected monitor is not 4:3. The same also goes for if you run a program or game that wants to change your output desktop resolution - even then it'll still remember to preserve the aspect ratio. Then after that, if I change my resolution to anything else whether in the "Display" application or via xrandr even without specifying a "scalling mode", it'd automatically remember to preserve the aspect ratio. Code: Select all xrandr -output DVI-0 -mode 1280x1024 -set "scaling mode" "Full aspect"
