Not quite certain what you're after, but I *think* what you want isn't directly possible.I normally drive my monitor on 1280x1024 but when I want to watch a movie I tune it down to 800x600 or 640x480. Now I have not figured out how to make the virtual screen the exact same size as the resolution defined in Modes in XF86Config. Anyone have a clue? Configs like the example below don't work. There still is a virtual screen around my monitor. How do I get rid of that virtual screen?
If it helps, and I've understood you correctly, I have a somewhat similar situation where I have a PC game for my son which I run under wine*; it wants an 800x600 display.
I have set up a second "Screen" section in XF86Config with 800x600 res. Call it "small" or something. I then have a script which does something like:
export DISPLAY=:1.0
X -screen small :1 &
xpid=$!
wine game
kill -INT $xpid
[That's OTTOMH, may not be quite right]
I've linked that onto my desktop and run *it* to start the game. Guess you could do a similar thing with xine/ogle in there instead of wine.
* - get this: it runs fine on Linux under wine, but I can't make it work when I'm natively booted into XP!
