====== X server desktop panning ======

If you have a small screen but want a larger desktop - for instance to see otherwise hidden buttons as in Linux Mint issue the following command:

<code bash>
xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x768
</code>

To return to the native resolution issue:

<code bash>
xrandr --fb 1024x600 --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x600
</code>
