Is there any way to increase the "virtual" screen resolution of our DSS200 when using VNC to view / control it?

On my FHD monitor the default settings are very conservative, and I was thinking it might be nice to have a bigger screen, without VNC scaling, to accommodate larger widths in file name lists without scrolling horizontally all the time.

The screen resolution is fixed, as far as I know. It is based around a 1024x768 resolution. Just how big are you wanting it that it doesn't look good at that resolution?

just a bump up to 1280x768 would be nice

Pretty sure the on-board Matrox G200 is still able to support that.

Its mostly so I can fit more width into the "content" columns to see more of the file manes without having to scroll, if you know what I mean

but, if it is not possible, does not really matter

I just checked on a live site and it is 1024x768.

Even if you connect the "VGA" connector up to a widescreen monitor...you just get a stretched version of the display, not more horizontal pixels.

Does the Supermicro MB have a Matrox G200 onboard??

As far as I can tell looking at the OEM motherboard datasheets, yes it does
