You mean with CTRL-ALT-[+/-]? No, I don't think so. I suppose it's theoretically possible, but the X client programs and window managers would have to be written to properly handle the change of resolution. The virtual size wouldn't change, but a user might not be able to tell if the windowmanager fakes it by only allowing the mouse to move in certain areas (Quake(II/III) does this, for example). If you are willing to restart the X server, you can set up the X server with multiple layouts. Someone should really put together some documentation on how to handle multiple layouts. It's becoming a more common practice.. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ MS Windows -- From the / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ people who brought you \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) EDLIN!
