Ole,
Please accept my apology if I have confused virtual resolution with
virtual desktop and didn't make myself clear. Please explain the
difference.
Now back to my problem. What I see after I started X is the desktop
which is *larger* than the size of the screen and I have to move the
mouse a long distance to get to other parts of the desktop. I experience
this phenomenon in every (if I remembered correctly) window manager I
tried: twm, fvwm95, kwm(kde) and I have a small real desktop :)
What I'd like to have is a desktop that has the same size as my screen.
Regards,
ST
