F10, virtual display

[Craig White]

Not wanting to step on any of the other current threads, I'm starting a
new one specific to my issue.

F10, KDE 4.2 (just updated today), turned off krandrtray so it won't
load at startup on an Acer Aspire One with a 1024x600 screen which makes
it really hard to use Evolution. So I'm thinking that when using
non-tethered to my KVM and large external monitor, I would get a
1280x1024 screen (which I know it can do because the external monitor
can be set to same). Aspire One uses intel 945 video.

Created /etc/X11/xorg.conf (per another thread)...

# cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
            Depth           24
            Virtual         1280 1024
        EndSubSection
EndSection

but it still is only 1024x600 and I see no way to use the larger virtual
setup.

xrandr -q (without external display connected) shows...

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 1280 x 1024
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
451mm x 113mm
   1024x600       60.0*+
   640x480        59.9


Am I missing something?
