For your problem, in your XF86Config, if you have something like
640x480 800x600
Then by default XFree86 will use the 640x480 mode and your virtual screen

Which window manager are you using? It must be possible to fix this:
you're just bothered by the initial placement of the windows, not with
bits of your actual desktop being off the screen, right?

Thanks for this response, but it doesn't apply in my case. I don't have a
virtual screen set up, the only resolution mention in my file is 640x480.
The laptop pages don't help - frankly because it isn't an issue with laptops
- it's an X server problem. I get the same results using a

AFAIK, your problem is neither new nor soluble: what's happening is that
your pixelsize is too large for the default windowsize to fit within the
screen boundaries--either set a higher resolution or live with it. The
problem is not that your virtual resolution is too high, it's that your

Hi!
I've got a very annoying problem. My X server seems to
think that my screen is bigger than it actually is.
I'm using wmaker, and when a program window drops out
of the desktop I can usually maximize it and make it
fit the desktop perfectly. So wmaker knows the size
