Are there any other Display Subsections in that Screen Section? In the
manpage, it says that "if [the Virtual] entry is not present, the
virtual screen resolution will be set to accommodate all the valid video
modes given in the Modes entry." If the virtual resolution is greater
than the resolution in the Modes entry, then you get a display that is
larger than the screen. The ViewPort entry just gives where on that
larger display you first see, 0 0 being the upper left corner.
What happens if you put the line "Virtual 800 600" into your XF86Config,
so that you would have (using the information from a previous post of
yours):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Trident Cyber9525"
Monitor "3110CT Display"
Default 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480"
Virtual 800 600
Viewport 0 0
End Subsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600"
Virtual 800 600
Viewport 0 0
End Subsection
