Virtual Desktop like old Powerdesk

[funky-d-munky]

My old Matrox 220's powerdesk used to have a virtual desktop option where I could set it to a high resolution, but leave my monitor resolution lower. Eg. Set to 1600x1200 but my screen would be 800x600 and I could scroll around the bigger desktop by moving the mouse. I really liked that feature.
Every time I search for such an app, all I can find are the virtual desktops that are complete desktops but many of them. So as of yet I haven't found anything that does what I want. Can anyone help me out?

just curious, why do you want this?

anyways, I don't think its in the newer G-series drivers anymore....

For HTPC. It is often hard to see well on a TV. I use the magnification tool at times but it is clumbersome. It is also very cool for some graphics apps.
I should have mentioned that I am no longer using a Matrox card (that why I dropped it in GH/S) I am looking for an app that will run on any card.

I believe it depends on the OS you're running. What flavor of Windows are you trying to do this on?

Virtual desktop 3000x1024, G400, is it possible?

[funky-d-munky]

Any windows would do. XP prefered.
Triplus Winspace does what I want, and a bag of chips, but $40 USD is not in my budget for what used to be a throw in app 6 odd years ago.

Use *nix?

Not on my HTPC. I can't believe such a simple Win app isn't around. I must have searched through at least 20 odd virtual desktop programs. Ugh!
