Re: X thinks my screen is larger than it actually is
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
screen resolution is too low: however, you might get better results if
you set your virtual resolution higher than your actual screen: you'd at
least be able to navigate to the parts that don't show up on your screen.
Sorry I can't be of more help--it's happened to me on more than one
occasion :(

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
