XF86 mode question ?



Hello all,

I run my display at 800x600, Sometimes it would be usefull to run it at 1024x768, for example to run xcdroast.

I setup my modes in subsection "display" as "800x600" "1024x768" and restarted X.

It appears to take the highest resolution, ie 1024x768 and make a buffer for it. If I ctrl-alt-- I get 800x600 but the screen buffer is as big as 1024x768. When I click on full screen for a window, it becomes so big as to be almost useless. In addition when my cursor reaches the edge of the screen, the screen scrolls ... OK so I find the rest of my "full screen" window, but not ideal.

I hate to say this, but is there a way to make XF86 work like Windows ? ie no matter what the resolution I want a fixed screen the size of my monitor screen, no scrolling, no expanding off the end.

I have checked out "man XF86Config-4" and experimented, but have not been successfull.

Any Suggestions ?
Dave
