I didn't know about that. This, of course, changes the things quite a bit and now I completely agree with your suggestion. I would just note it, that I did never let my X server autodetect the display size in the last two years (I always set DisplaySize). So maybe my driver is already fixed. I will check it when I get to it. Regards Zsolt
