How to > disable it? I think there might be a misunderstanding here. The term "virtual" refers to a display which is larger than what you see on the monitor. When you move the mouse to the edge of the monitor display, the display is panned to show the undisplayed part in that direction. Is this what you understand? If you comment out all the "virtual" lines in the correct configuration file and restart the server, this behaviour will stop. If you think you're doing this, send me your XF86Config file in private mail, and I'll look at it and comment publicly. > Is there anyway to make my resolution 1024x768x64K colors?

How to switch resolutions? Ctrl-Alt-Keypad+ and Ctrl-Alt-Keypad-. These are the grey + and - symbols on the keypad at the extreme right of a keyboard. > Is there any font smoothing utility (anti-alias) for X-Window? I > want to smooth out all the rugged edges on fonts. Probably several. I haven't seen much problems with aliasing, and with a higher resolution you probably won't either.
