Re: [PLUG] X screen resolution
|
Presently you can't do it on mode switch. XFree86 uses your biggest
size, or a Virtual size, if you configure one, as the screen region.
The +/- keys just let you zoom into that region.
If you want a smaller virtual size, you'll need to remove the larger
sizes from the config and restart X. You can also specify the smaller
virtual size directly. I think that will cause the larger modes to be
thrown away.
