I assume that you're using XFree86 or MetroX or some similar thing on
an Intel box. You can turn off the hardware scrolling using the 'Virtual'
command in your X server config file (probably /etc/X11/XF86Config or
Xconfig or something like that).
If your actual resolution is 1600x1200 then say
Virtual 1600 1200
and so on (make sure it is in the correct "Display" section).
Then use fvwm's scrolling as described by a previous poster.
