Configure a virtual (panning) desktop that is larger than the physical
screen. This used to be *very* common back when average display
resolutions where much lower and is well supported by X. But I don't
think the installers provide this option anymore when configuring X so
you might have to play with "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Something like:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Virtual 1024 768
Depth 16
Modes "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
- provides a 1024x768 virtual desktop on a 800x600 display.
