Subject: Configuring Virtual Resolution for XFree86 4.0
I have just upgraded my XFree86 from 3.3.5 to 4.0.
I am having some difficulty getting it to recognize Virtual resolution.
After reading the XF86Config man page, and applying some of the settings,
I have come to a dead end. I am using Slackware 4.0 on a system with a Voodoo
2000 AGP card. All was working fine with 3.3.5, and (after reading Readme's,
etc) the drivers are supposed to work the same for both versions, this is
perplexing.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here is my new XF86Config file
