RE: [newbie] virtual desktop and riva128 probs

[Riley, Patrick (Patrick)** CTR **]

What are you running, KDE?  Enlightenment?  Each one has different places to
disable the virtual desktop settings.  As far as the monitor goes, run
Xconfigurator from a terminal and you should be able to set things up there.
Make sure you manually pick your resolution and color settings though.  I
have it done it lately but I know it always defaulted to something that I
didn't want.  Hope this helps.
