How to change the screen resolution?
I tried with this command:
rdesktop <server_ip>But the screen does not appear large.

I like using this command:
rdesktop -g 90% servernameWhich will set the size of the remote desktop to 90% of the size of your local screen, which works quite well regardless of resolution.
4If you want to open the screen at a specific resolution, for example 1280×1024 resolution, add the -g flag:
rdesktop -g 1280x1024 <server_ip>This command gives you a full screen experience as well:
rdesktop -fI found the answer to my question.
-k de: set keyboard layout-g 1500x1150: set resolution of the rdesktop window-r disk:mydisk=/home/soma: share your home directory with the remote machine
The full command should be:
rdesktop 192.168.1.23 -k de -g 1500x1150 -r disk:mydisk=/home/soma I'd suggest that you consider a graphical tool such as Remmina (used to be called GRDC), which is available in the repositories.
sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp remmina-plugin-vncIt features easy to use drop downs and sliders for remote screen resolution, supporting multiple monitors and more.
It also supports VNC and SSH tunnelling, making it a one-stop-shop for all your most likely remote desktop connection needs. Finally, a handy gnome-panel applet makes connecting to your remote desktops a simple point and click experience.

4I had the problem on my Ubuntu 20.10 notebook that my screen has 1920x1080 but only 14 inch, so the dpi is higher on my notebook screen than on the monitor of the remote computer
I could adjust this by using -g parameter with the DPI option, that is specified via an @ sign.
rdesktop -g 100%@150 <remote_computer>The 100% refer to my screen size and the higher the value after the 1

I think Ctrl + Alt + KP+ also cycles through some available resolutions.
