 Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2005 11:34 pm Post subject: Disable virtual desktop in xorg.conf |
 |
|
| I recently got the ATI Radeon drivers installed and running. However, my desktop in KDE is now a "virtual desktop", which is very annoying to me. Is there any way to manually disable this in xorg.conf? I'd rather not have to run any scripts for it (as it was the source of many headaches when installing the ATI drivers). |

IIRR there's a line (or a couple of em) called virtual..... => just comment them out.
Make a copy of your working config before starting to modify xorg.conf, so you can go back if something goes wrong. |

| Thanks for the reply inode. Tried commenting out the solitary Virtual line. Didn't change anything for the better (in fact, it made KDE start up with a smaller window bordered by a black matte on all sides). I can get rid of this by setting the desktop resolution to something else and then changing it back to where I want it. Any ideas? |

| Code: | Virtual xdim ydim
This optional entry specifies the virtual screen resolution to be used. xdim must be a multiple of either 8 or 16 for most drivers, and a multiple of 32 when running in monochrome mode.
The given value will be rounded down if this is not the case. Video modes which are too large for the specified virtual size will be rejected. If this entry is not present, the virtual screen resolution will be set to accommodate all the valid video modes given in the Modes entry. Some drivers/hardware combinations do not support virtual screens.
Refer to the appropriate driver-specific documentation for details.
|
Hmm... you have the correct resolutions set for your screen in the mode line(s)?
You did restart your X-server by logout and then CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE? |

I just did a reboot on my system. I think I have the correct resolutions for my modelines. It may be easier if I post the pertinent parts of my xorg.conf

That's my config, if you give it a try remember to either replace the font section or configure/run x-fontserver.
I don't have any modeline section compared to you and you don't have a descending resolution line.

| Well, I gave your settings for the graphics and screens but got the same result. I'm wondering if this has to do with something outside of the xorg.conf file. Everything in there seems to be in order. |

| Fixed. I'm not entirely sure what was wrong, so I bit the bullet and re-ran fglrxconfig, this time making sure to specify "no" on the virtual desktop. Works fine now. |
