[AG-TECH] VPCScreen and Keynote

[Todd Zimmerman]

I actually ran into this issue today using Keynote and Vine Server.

The screen resolution was set to the same and I couldn't find a working 
solution other than to export to Powerpoint.

I do see the Vine Server release notes 
(http://www.testplant.com/documentation/Vine%20Server%20Release%20Notes.pdf) 
indicate as something 'still to do':

Add "Send Full Screen" Mode - Useful for things like Keynote which 
bypasses CGRemoteOperations API
Possibly Detect when machine enters such a mode - ie starts running Keynote

Not sure if anyone has any other work around, but other suggestions 
would be great.,


Todd

Many screen capturing tools have this issue with fullscreen Keynote.
