There was some bug in the computing of agregated output sizes in the past. I guess everything was not fixed since it's doing 1440x900 x2 here. > I guess, I don't know why it doesn't want to let me have > that any more. > What's happening is probably: You have Intel 2.8.0 which uses UXA. It supports resizing the framebuffer at runtime now. So the Virtual line in xorg.conf is ignored. Since you start with less than 2048, DRI gets enabled. And later it refuses to pass 2048 since it's not supported with DRI enabled. You may try disabling DRI/Accel in xorg.conf and see if it helps, not sure. Or you could try configuring the output size/placement in xorg.conf directly. Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
