Re: floating screen

I did goggle for floating screen and floating display I don't know what
else to look for you tell me what you would call this.

If I change resolution with "Ctrl Alt + or -" to a smaller resolution I
do get bigger everything, but my display bust out of the screen
boundaries and when I move my mouse to one side it will float over so
that I can see the side which I moved the mouse too.

I know if you never had that happen to you everything I just sad must
sound crazy. But trust me some people actually know what I am talking
about. It is something normal I used to have the same problem on my
Amiga 1200.

So how do fix this at the moment I have too small fonts, can't read the
stuff, need to get to 1024x768 resolution


What you are seeing is XFree86 walking down his "validated modes". If you look at /var/log/Xfree86.0.log you will see them. I have X 4.3.0 installed in Woody so YMMV with earlier versions but it would still be the same. A peculiarity that I have: I can "walk up" Ctrl+Alt++ but not "down" Ctrl+Alt+-. (Do you have that too?) The Fonts being "small" I myself classify it as being part of the browser. For reasons not yet clear these show up good if I install or compile Mozilla-xft and start off with an empty .mozilla dir as I start it.
