"Disk video" mode is limited to resolutions supported by graphics driver

[PeterPall]

"Disk video mode" is a practical feature if you want to create gif images that are much bigger than the screen. Unfortunately the choices that are possible for resolutions that can be chosen for disk-video mode seem to be linked to the full-screen resolutions the video hardware supports:

xfractint -geometry 8000x8000 -disk

does create images that are only as big as your screen is.
