 That did it! It is not exactly what I wanted to achieve, but at least
it puts me back to where I was before the upgrade. Now if I can just
figure out how to coordinate a change in resolution with a corresponding
change in virtual screen size. Maybe a virtual display with each
resolution..... Any ideas? BTW I did see the reference in the docs, but
did not understand how they applied. The examples were not clear.:-(
