You were right, my bad, xf86config does everything, I just forgot to make
that link to 'X'.
Ok, now how do I make the screen fit at a resolution of 800x600? It
only fits at 1024 which is way to small, at 800, you have to move around,
I commented out all the stuff that says virtual in the XF86Config but
that accomplished nothing. It's an S3 so if anyone knows what lines to
take out our XF86Config or another file, let me know.
Sincerely,
