Hi there,
as I have not yet upgraded to Lion, could someone answer the following question for me? I read that you can remotely log in to a Mac via Screen Sharing, even if another user is already using that Mac. In that case, what screen resolution would be used? Does it have to be the same as the already logged in user, which uses the real display of that Mac?
I ask because of this: I'd like to hook up a Mac mini to my TV, which obviously would have a resolution of 1080p. At the same time, I would like to log in as a different user with my MBP to use the Mac mini for other non-media-center tasks (Handbrake encodings, downloading etc.). There, I'd prefer a smaller resolution, as a scaled down 1080p picture would be very hard to interact with on my MBP.
Is that possible?
