a colleague yesterday handed me a laptop with a 1440x900
display running f9, and wanted to increase the virtual desktop
to full WUXGA (1920x1200). i can see from a quick google that
xorg.conf supports something along the lines of:
Virtual 1920 1200
in the "Display" subsection. i have to wait for about an hour
to get my hands on the laptop again but is it really that
simple? and how can i verify that the video card can handle
that? from memory, i believe the video is an intel 945GM
chipset.
so what's the recipe? i can't believe it's just a matter of
adding that line to xorg.conf and restarting the X server. that
would be *way* too easy. :-)

p.s. and once i have that virtual desktop, would that automatically
produce the corresponding WUXGA output on the DVI-0 port? that
would be an added bonus.
