Is it possible to enlarge Ubuntu Desktop in a way that screen resolution was more than real resolution of display.
I mean for example if I have monitor 1024x768, but I want to set resolution wider and taller: 1200x800 (as example).
That would be great if this screen look and act like Compiz Enhanced Zoom Desktop. I mean when you move cursor to the corner-you can see what is in this corner.



Maybe someone know such application or settings, cause i'm not satisfied about my display resolution and can't add another display..

What you want is called panning viewport. X has supported this for many years, it was awesome with low resolution monitors and it works exactly as you described.



I haven't tried it with recent version of Ubuntu, so I'll better point you to the official documentation.



It's done with xrandr --panning, but be sure to read everything before experimenting with your resolutions.
