I did, but this was not not the problem since the screen can do 1280x1024

this seems to be cause by tweakui x-mouse

if the server has to change displaymodes, it can lock the screen. But
if not I can see the x-pointer and the windows pointer at the same time
and the start has failed.

some keys won't work properly (even with xmodmap). It's (on my german
keyboard) '<>|' and most important Alt_R. xev reports the keypress
of Control_L and Alt_L . How can I compose these keys. 
XWin seems only manages switches by Alt-Tab correcly. Pressing for example
the windows keys puts X into background, but XWin still draws on the screen.
When switching back, X crashes with "DDSurfaceLock : IDirectDrawSurface_Restore returned an error"

Ok thats for now
