Um, didn't the next line explicitly say "in the X server configuration"?

Anyway, sorry Peter -- I think you are out of luck.  I have had the same 
experience before.  This is not really a fvwm issue, it is with the various 
xorg drivers.  Eg, I just put in a new ATI 3D card because I have to do some 
openGL work.  No more virtual viewport!  And the thing has a cooling fan and 
1Gb of memory on it!

None of the big DE's -- KDE, gnome, XFCE -- (or the WM's they use) support it, 
no matter what your hardware.  I guess the idea just never caught on well 
enough, and is slowly becoming obsolete.  Call it "devolution".
