I know, but the new config file makes no mention of virtual settings, so I'm not sure where to set it to 1024x768.

Re: Virtual Desktop
Whenever you are doing the xf86config (or your other favorite X config), when you get to the last screen where you are supposed to change video modes for color depths, just go ahead and change them. Once you specify the video mode for a color depth, it'll ask you wehther you want the virtual desktop or not. Andrei -- First there was Explorer... Then came Expedition.

Re: Virtual Desktop
Wayne: If, at the color depth you're using, the first resolution in the list is 800x600, but another one is 1024x768, it'll run XWindows in 800x600 with a virtual screen of 1024x768. The biggest resolution in the list becomes the virtual screen size, and the first is default actual size. I'd just do it by editing /etc/X11/XF86Config -- the lines are near the bottom, under the Screen sections.

Re: Virtual Desktop
How do you change to virtual desktop in X Windows to the same physical size of your monitor. I have tried running xf86config and I get the display with a Stealth 3D 2000 PRO but the actual desktop is always smaller then the virtual desktop. the virtual desktop will always have at least the size, in which an overlay of all selected modelines would fit. look at the Screen section of your /etc/XF86Config. the first entry in the modes line will be your default mode. -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please! -- Linux - the last service pack you'll ever need.

Rick Smith -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null I think hat you want to do is edit our XF86Config File (find it in /etc/X11). You need to find the 'screen' section. In this section there is a subsection for each colour depth (eg, 8, 15 and 16 bpp etc.). For each of the colour depths thee will be a line that says 'virtual 1024 768'. The numbers may be different in your case, but they are what you want to change. Set the Virtual size to the largest size listed on the Modes line and that should give you what you want. You can also change modes by pressing 'Ctrl Alt +or-' , but use the + and - keys on the number pad. Hope this helps. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Otherwise edit the resulting file directly, it's location is /etc/X11/XF86Config. At the end of this file should be the section for the X-Server settings. There should be entries somehow like this: Section Screen Driver accel Device ATI Video Xpression Monitor miroC1782 Subsection Display Depth 8 Modes 1024x768 800x600 640x480 640x400 400x300 320x240 320x200 1280x1024 ViewPort0 0 Virtual 1600 1200 EndSubsection Set Virtual to what you need it to be...
