You're right! Thanks! That one line makes the EeePC much more useful
in a second. ;-)

It looks now like this:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual         2048 2048
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Thanks again!

		Regards, Axel
