It is also the maximum resolution my monitor can handle. Unfortunatelly I am not used to xrandr and how to handle it. I never used it before.
The history of my favor for a virtual screen is, that I had a small 17'' CRT-monitor. With my first LINUX ditribution about ten years ago, a SuSE, I came along to get used to a virtual screen size bigger than my monitor could show, as described in the xorg.conf manpage: Display Subsection - Virtual xdim ydim. This feature existed until xserver-xorg-video-i810_1.7.2-4.i386.deb. > > As explained earlier, the current "Virtual" line does not seem to have > the exact meaning that you want.

So we could finish this bugreport quoting the xorg.conf manpage: "Some drivers/hardware combinations do not support virtual screens. Refer to the appropriate driver-specific documentation for details". Thank you for your efforts and help, Brice. Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Lauterbach Goethering 54 90547 Stein This is Linux country.
