Does anybody know how to turn of the bigger virtual desktop size, when changing to lower resolutions?
Once upon a time(was it an 3.x Xserver, i dont remember) it was possible to set the "Virtual" Option in the "Display" Subsection of the "Screen" section in "XFree86Config" to a lower setting than your maximum mode, which lead to using of a higher virtual resolution only if i changed to a higher mode than i set in Virtual. However if i do this nowadays i cannot switch to higher video modes than my Virtual Resolution anymore. The problem is. Think about having your usual Desktop at 1280x1024 resolution. Now you start a game using wine, for example a strategy game like "Total Annihilation" or "C&C". It changes to an in-program resolution of 800x600 for example, wine setting the Xserver this way. Now if i move the mouse-curser to the right side of screen 2 things happen. 1st The game recognizes the mouse-curser being on the right edge, this way scrolling the terrain to the right, what i want. 2nd The Xserver uses the oportunity to scroll the whole screen to the right, since the virtual screen-size is still set to 1280, what i definitely dont want. Now my question again, is it possible to turn the usage of a virtual desktop off? (and how) or at least make the Xserver set the Virtual size always to the real size? greetings, Eric PS: If this is driver dependant: i use a Voodoo3, GLX enabled. PPS: Of course its possible to work around my specific problem by letting wine grab the cursor completely, or not to use Windoze games at all, but that's another question <g> _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
