In order to get rid of the virtual screeen set the virtual
screen size to be equal to the one of the phys. screen
resolution.
As for the color depth - this one happened to be the
hard to guess :( for me - so I ended up with starting
the X server with "-bpp" parameter ... from Xservers file
I beleive.
I rrun Xserver in 11280 x 1024 with 65534 colors ...
here goes the /etc/XF86config
