I don't think you can do it at run-time. It should be an xorg settings, but you're right that the latest ubuntus seem to ignore it. I've got no idea what configuration had my virtual screen set, but I remember setting it explicitely (until I did, I had similar results to what you're describing). - Aviram _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
