In xorg.conf you can set it in the screen section to something like 1024x 768 and scroll the visible part of the desktop. I am not sure what the setting is in xorg, but you used to be able to set edge resistance to control how easy it was to start scrolling. I had not used it in a couple of years, so I don't remember the exact settings. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
