Hello list, I'm running X-Windows and fvwm2 at 800x600x8 using the Frame Buffer Device but I would like to disable the virtual desktop feature. I tried setting the values for 'Virtual' to 800 600 (from the default 1152 900 - which worked ok) in the 'Display' SubSection of the 'Screen' section in /etc/XF86Config but this resulted in a corrupt display. The display area was stable - no monitor rolling or any other problems - it was just what was being displayed that was scrambled - sort of horizontally skewed but working otherwise, which implied that X thought things were fine and was quite happy. I tried reducing the Virtual to 1024 768 and this worked ok so I tried reducing the virtual even more and eventually found that 801 600 works (with a 1 (x) pixel scroll area) but 800 600 doesn't. I also tried commenting out the Virtual entry but that resulted in 'No valid video modes found' and no X.
I've had a look at the various docs and config files that might have been relevent but I'm either missing it or mis-interpreting it. The default 640x480 mode doesn't use the virtual feature so I know the answer already _is_ on my system somewhere, but I can't find it. Any pointers would be appreciated. Incidentally, this is on an m68k slink system. I tried this on the m68k list but got no response there. Bye, LeeE -- http://www.spatial.freeserve.co.uk
