To use my Thinkpad with an XVGA projector yesterday, I had to make some fairly radical changes to my X configuration. When I couldn't get the ATI r128.o driver to display any resolutions below 1600x1200, I substituted the VESA driver in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. That allowed me to bring up X in 1024x768 mode. Ever since I undid that bit of tinkering and returned to 1600x1200 mode, I've been unable to position any desktop icons on the far right hand side of the desktop. Indeed, there appears to be a 1024x768 virtual window on my desktop (anchored in the upper left corner) beyond which I cannot drag and drop any launcher icon. When I first tried to drag an icon to the right hand edge of the desktop and release it, I was startled to see it float right back to its starting position. Can anyone tell me in what file desktop icon positioning information is stored? And what causes that virtual barrier. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
