Nick,
If you have more than one resolution specified in XF86Config, the highest one
will be used as a virtual desktop, regardless of the current.
Confused? Example:
"800x600" "1024x768" "1200x1024"
will yield a virtual desktop of 1200x1024 in 800x600 or 1024x768. So the
highest one will be used no matter what.
Solution? Find a resolution you like, and make that the only entry in
XF86Config. It'll be the "true" resolution without having to scroll. If you
like to switch on-the-fly, however, I'm afraid you're stuck (unless anyone else
knows a workaround?)
