In you Xf86 config file, you'll have a definition that reads something
like :
Monitor "Acer 33d"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
Virtual 1152 900
EndSubsection
Note the 'virtual' keyword. This means that your desktop will be
bigger than your actual screen. comment out this directive (as in :
# Virtual 1152 900
and the virtual screen should stop happening)
Make sure to comment the virtual directive in *all* the screen modes
you are using - so that if you switch between modes using
ctrl-alt-plus, no virtual screen appears.
Good luck
Tony
