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.
