Hi list,

When I switch to another mode in XWindows, I always get stuck with a virtual
resolution of the orignal mode. That's very annoying. When for example I
want to watch TV and switch to 720x576, I can still scroll through 1280x960
by moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the screen. Can those virtual
resolutions be disabled?

TIA
