I had an aha moment.
I set the gdm config to have two X server settings, one with 24 and the
other with 16bpp, and the Screen section is in the following:
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "1152x864"
EndSubsection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" #"1152x864"
EndSubSection
When the 16bpp was selected, the mode went to 1024x768; then I pressed
ctl-alt-+, the resolution changed to the second one. But, the image on
the screen became smaller (I had wide blank sections on the edges of the
screen). And after I pressed ctl-alt--, I had what you had had before
(ie: the screen went into virtual mode, even I hadn't set it to be so.)
It seems that you have to live with it; I mean, in the X world, changing
the screen resolution would need you to relogin (and tinker with the
monitor's setting; ie: the image width, position, etc.)
I guess this has something to do with the modelines; ie: having
a different modeline for each resolution would have you the right image
on the screen. But, that would be beyond me.
We are on the same boat.
