Hello Dan...et all.

  adding +50+50 to the resolution with xrandr does not do anything.

When I tried xrandr -s 640x480, the system change resolution to VGA. When I
redid xrandr 800x600, I was back in SVGA. But adding some values +50+50 to
either efforts, does not change anything... not even a screen reset/flicker,
as if it ignored the command altogether.

Any ideas?
Thanks
