Changing resolution/virtual in XF86Config-4

If I change the resolution in XF86Config-4, e.g. from 1600x1200 to 1280x1024, the resulting display is too large and parts are off-screen. How do I make it adjust to the different resolution? I'm sure this is very elementary but I can't find it anywhere in the docs. Anthony -- [EMAIL
