I am usinga 800 x 600 resolution and the Risk game does not display all of the features below. For example the end turn button doesn't appear.
In the 1024 x 728 mode everything is displayed properly.
Is this a limitation of the Risk video display or can this be changed?

The game is in /usr/local/Risk
I found a readme there, it says:
Risk - Yura Mamyrin (
yura@yura.net)
SUN Java 1.4 or higher must be installed to run Risk
Miniumum Resolulation is 1024x768
However, you can use a trick.
Open in your Editor the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Search for this line:
Modes "800x600"
replace it with
virtual 1024 768
Restart X, and now your screen scrolls when your mouse reached the side on a 800x600 resolution (if that is the maximum your card can use).
Maybe you can use both:
Modes "800x600"
virtual 1024 768
If X should refuse to start, delete this line, use the comandline-editor mp:
mp /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This only will work with the xorg-xserver.
