Re: A small question



Gorden, I have a suggestion; while I have 1600x1200 in my Modes line, I
also run 1600x1200 all the time. So, I can't say one way or another if
this will work.

But, if I were a programmer at XFree86, I would start up in the first
resolution listed with a desktop that size. Resolution changes downward
would use a virtual desktop, resolution changes upward would increase
(temporarily) the screen resolution.

So, try putting 1600x1200 at the end of your Modes list.

If that doesn't work, there is a Virtual entry in the display
subsection. Full details are in XF86Config(5) (well, some details. Full
details are in the source code. :) It might be able to help you. :)
