I've got a weird problem, I changed the resolution in my xorg.conf, now every time I log in, my desktop side scrolls. It's like having a widescreen desktop on a fullscreen picture. Not to sure why it's doing it but it's happened ever since changing from 1280x768 resolution to 1024x768. Heres my xorg.conf file.

I believe the semantics of the modes line is as a set of "fallbacks".

[code]
Modes "1024x768" "1280x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[/code]

In that the ordering of resolutions should be from larger to smaller with the system trying each one from one side to the other and then stopping on the maximum resolution entry that is successful.

In this case you have a smaller resolution "1024x768" before a larger one, "1280x768" so that may be screwing with it. My suggestion would be to remove one or the other of these values.
