What? Do you mean when you have a small screen such as a netbook, to
have the ability to enlarge the desktop to allow you to pan a larger
virtual desktop? Sure you can. I did not like the netbook addition of
Ubuntu so I have the standard GNOME 2. Even the the top and bottom panel
auto-hiding sometimes the 1024x600 will not accommodate some dialogs. So
I installed xrandr and created a small script with a button on my top
panel so I can toggle 1024x600 to 1024x768 and back.
#!/bin/bash
# panning.sh
#+ script that toggles panning mode for netbooks
DEFAULT=1024x600
EXPANDED=1024x768
QUIET=false
if ! XRANDR=`which xrandr`
then
echo "ERROR: xrandr was not found and is required to run this script"
exit
fi
ON=`${XRANDR} | grep -c "connected ${EXPANDED}"`
if [ "$1" == "-q" ]; then
QUIET=true
fi
if [ "${ON}" -ne "0" ]; then
if [ $QUIET == false ]; then
echo "Panning currently on, tuning it off"
fi
${XRANDR} --fb ${DEFAULT} --output LVDS1 --panning ${DEFAULT}
else
if [ $QUIET == false ]; then
echo "Panning currently off, turning it on"
fi
${XRANDR} --fb ${EXPANDED} --output LVDS1 --panning ${EXPANDED}
fi
exit 0
--
Take care,
Jonathan
