Hello,

My screen resolution is very low (800×480). Is there a way to make desktop scrolling, so I can use Ubuntu? (it has too big windows for my screen res).

Also I have no keyboard (UMPC).

P.S. Using Compiz.

I'm not sure about how to enable the virtual resolutions in latest Ubuntu versions, but here's something that should help you using Ubuntu on small resolutions: if you hold down Alt key, you can move windows around from any point in the window (not just the titlebar like usually). This should allow you to access those parts of windows that wouldn't otherwise fit in your screen.

(Alt+left button moves window, alt+middle button resizes it)

Suppose I have no Alt key, because I have no keyboard.

When desktop is srolling, the touchscreen is touching in incorrect places!
How to fix that?

It touching desktop in absolute desktop coordinates, not visible part of it!
