chris glur asked:
What's 'virtual viewport' ?
I liked fvwm2 but as time goes on I've found extra utility from KDE.
You would have a couple of lines in xorg.conf like these
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1600 1200 <-
Viewport 0 0 <-
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Meaning my desktop is bigger than my physical screen (which is 1200 x
768), and you slide around. For some reason the big new suites like
gnome and KDE won't permit it. I can't stand anything that doesn't rely
on pure text file configuration.
This is one of my favourite features on KDE.
Currently on Fedora 8 I have the following virtual viewport
setup:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Virtual 800 1800
EndSubSection
EndSection
The above settings give me a virtual screen size that is
almost 3 times the height of my display's physical size.
This means I can resize my browser windows or PDF viewers to
give me a window that will almost completely fill my monitor
with a document that does not take up screen real estate
with menu bars along the top or bottom of the screen.
Installing Fedora 9 and KDE will not allow me to setup a
virtual viewport at all. I find this really restricting.
Is there some workaround to continue to use virtual
viewports on KDE, or can I use another desktop application
that still supports using KDE apps and the virtual viewport
definitions I have setup?
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
PS: It appears that KDE seems to send to the swap partition
the desktops that are not in focus. So this means that the
active desktop is the one that gets swapped back into
computer RAM.
