The only reason why I would like to make my application run as root is that, as you might already know, sometimes a line such as the following has to be appended to the "Screen" section of the xorg.conf: Virtual 2880 1600 It depends on the graphic card but for example if I wanted to set up multiple screens (like xinerama used to do) so as to have my 1600x1200 screen to the left of my laptop's monitor (1280x800) I couldn't do it without setting the virtual resolution in my xorg.conf and restarting the Xserver, otherwise xrandr would say that the screen cannot be larger than 1600x1600. URandR should add that line automatically. Of course if you have a better idea I would be glad if you could let me know. P.S. I have an Intel card and, as far as I know, the Intel driver cannot reallocate the frame buffer, therefore whatever size you start with is the maximum the screen can ever become.
