Hi Rob.
What desktop GUI are these machines using?
Is there some way you get each machine to use it's own
custom xorg.conf file, that you can tweak for each
particular machine?
I use this this in my PC running Centos 5.8 32 bit,
and XFCE desktop, to give me a tall virtual screen that I
can scroll around vertically:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor 1024x768"
HorizSync 31.5 - 61.0
VertRefresh 50.0 - 75.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nv"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0

EndSubSection
EndSection
Kind Regards,
Keith
