I configured my /etc/XF86Config with three modelines (640x480, 800x600 and
1024x768) and the rest like this...
Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "Primary Card"
Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
BlankTime 0
SuspendTime 0
OffTime 0
SubSection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "1024x768"
EndSubSection
...and so on.
When I start X it comes up 800x600 in 16kbit color depth. Great. However
the virtual desktop seems to be 1024x768. I could add the line "Virtual
800 600" but then I lose my 1024x768 mode and I still have a 800x600
virtual desktop when in 640x480 mode. Not great.
What I want is for the virtual desktop to be the same as the resolution I
am in, so that when I cycle through the modes with Ctrl-Alt-KP+ it adjusts.
Is that possible and would someone be so nice to post the recipe?
Related question: is there a program/script that can calculate modelines
for odd resolutions (I need 786x584). XF86Setup can't do this mode and I
couldn't figure out how to do it with xvidtune. TIA
