Virtual desktops are still there ..
This is portion of xorg.conf from 10.2: Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800x600 # virtual 1280 720 # virtual 1280 800 # virtual 1366 768 # virtual 1440 900 # virtual 1680 1050 virtual 1680 1200 # virtual 1920 1080 # virtual 1920 1200 # virtual 1920 1440 # virtual 1400 2048 # virtual 2048 2048 EndSubSection Can you guess why I need them?
Maybe he refers to the panning feature, which has gone with xrandr 1.2. Look at: http://emmes.livejournal.com/2700.html
That's it exactly. I have a new box built to replace the one now running 10.2. Desktop "panning" is crucial, so I have to pick an OS to install that has it.

You mean when your desktop extends beyond the monitor and moving the mouse to the edge causes the display to move? That still there. I just did that, when I switched to a lower resolution. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The same, but different, as explained in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11418#c8

Now try taking a screenshot of a 1920x1080 fullscreen desktop when your display resolution is 1400x1050 or 1024x768. When you figure out how in 11.0 or 11.1, please let me know. Here's an example of what I can do with 10.2: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/kde-desktop-1920x1080on1024x768.jpg -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain."
