I don't really use the VNC server. My understanding is that the VNC
server starts its own copy of the X server, dedicated to VNC screen
sharing. Otherwise, how would a single X server drive the local
display at one resolution, and a remote display at another
resolution? It seems impossible, since the two screens don't agree.
This is true for the command 'vncserver', it uses Xvnc. You can think
of 'vncserver' as 'startx' that uses Xvnc instead of the X
executable. This -geometry option works because it gets to decide how
big the virtual display is. Whereas with OSX's vnc, you are
controlling the _existing_ display which already has geometry. If you
really want to change this, you can do so in Display Preferences in
System Preferences.
