Hello!

Im running a debian unstable build, with a 2.6.6 kernel, and also a 2.2 kernel, and kde 3.2.2... I have an nvidia Aladdin TNT2 G. card, using the nv drivers, and a viewsonic display, with refresh rates of 30-70 and 50-150..

the problem I am having is that if i lower my resolution during runtime, using xrandr, the kde control center, or screen rotate&resize, i see only part of the desktop.. it is not scrollable, like with the alt + ctrl + +\- resizes.

I have tried reconfiguring X by hand and using the utilities, and no luck so far...
I suspect this is an X bug, because if I delete the higher resolution from the config file, i see it fine.. (i think it forgets to tell all the windows including KDE about the resize) but i wanted to make sure before filing a bug that i havent missed anything..

I have talked to someone has that has the same problem, and he also has an nvidia card, but with nvidia drivers... thi hasnt happened in any of the previous distros i tried, so i dont think this has something to do with my card...

heres my XFree86-4 file:
