Not quite. :-( The "Virtual" keyword in my xorg config file does indeed give me larger pages in FVWM, but apparently without the ability to control the scrolling. If the mouse brushes the edge of the screen, bang! I have to go through a whole operation to scroll back where I'm supposed to be. As is, it doesn't work for me. So I still need a way to control the scrolling. I'm currently subscribing to the xorg desktop mailing list and googling for everything I can find, as well as looking at man pages, but so far this issue seems to not even have been addressed. without some better scroll control, the "Virtual" keyword solution is no better than any of the other suggestions - although it still comes closest to what I wanted.
