I have the frame buffer working (has been for a couple months now). When I
run the XF68_FBDev X server I get a virtual desktop that's vertical only.
I know nothing of graphics and have no idea how/if this can be fixed.
Is there a way to get the virtual desktop to behave the same as it would
for a standard XF86Config with virtual desktop enabled?
Info:

ATI Xpert@Work 8 MB using vesa frame buffer (no, the atyfb won't work,
tried it numerous times:
