That was really helpful.

I've added then the Virtual option to the Screen section: Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Virtual 1280 1024 EndSubSection EndSection Unfortunately, that doesn't work. If that would work, I would be totally happy. > One thing that may have helped me is that I went through the logs and > removed everything unnecessary or duplicated from my xorg.conf: I haven't done that, because I thought the new config file should be fine. http://ihsan.dogan.ch/files/Xorg-7.3/xorg.conf Ihsan -- ihsan@dogan.ch http://blog.dogan.ch/ http://ihsan.dogan.ch/
