Hi, Russ,
You need to specify the virtual screen in your /etc/X11/XF86Config. In
the same depth subsection as you're running X, include the virtual
screen size as your default resolution. Here's a snippet from my
/etc/X11/XF86Config:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1024 768
EndSubsection
I'm running X at 32 bpp at 1024x768. So I have the virtual screen set
to 1024 768. Hope this helps. Good luck,
Hidong
