But isn't this all that's happened (where I've used 1152 864 and a 3.3.6 server): (**) Mach64: Mode "1280x1024": mode clock = 135.000 (--) Mach64: Resolution 1280x1024 too large for virtual 1152x864 (--) Mach64: Removing mode "1280x1024" from list of valid modes. (**) Mach64: Mode "1152x864": mode clock = 110.000 (**) Mach64: Mode "1024x768": mode clock = 85.000 (**) Mach64: Virtual resolution: 1152x864 (--) Mach64: Video RAM: 2048k In other words, you could have merely removed your highest resolution from the list in /etc/X11/XF86Config, making sure of course that the resolution you want to first appear is first in the list. > Now if I can just > figure out how to coordinate a change in resolution with a corresponding > change in virtual screen size.
