gah, xfce4's control panel doesnt do that for me, though it used to on 
another older notebook i was using. for the life of me i cant remember what 
i did to make this happen then and not not. my xorg.conf is minimal.

using xvidtune or ctrl-atl-numpad+ does switch video modes, but the virtual 
screen remains at the larger 1400x1050 size, thus giving that pan effect. 
would anyone hit me with a cluebat[1] on how to fix this ?

[1] i never had this problem before, so i've obviously goofed up somewhere 
in porting over xorg.org.
