virtual resolution issue - xorg.conf - eeepc 1000ha - debian 5.0 (lenny)


Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get my baby laptop to have a virtual resolution that is larger than the standard 1024x600. I sort of need it because some windows in Debian are larger than the 600 vertical I have so I can't hit the 'ok' button to make the changes I need to make.

I did a
Code:
Xorg -configure
to get a good standard for my hardware.
Here is my current (modified) xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "X.org Configured"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
	RgbPath      "/etc/X11/rgb"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"

	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
	FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
	FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection

Section "Module"

	Option	    "Protocol" "auto"
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
	Option	    "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	#DisplaySize	  220   130	# mm

                Depth     16
                Modes   "1024x600" "800x600" "640x480"
                Virtual 2048 2048
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes   "1024x600" "800x600" "640x480"
                Virtual 2048 2048
        EndSubSection
EndSection
Unfortunately I still only get a 1024x600 desktop and it doesn't scroll anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
