I use fvwm95 rather than KDE, but I think the problem is in your
/etc/XF86Config file(That's where Slackware has it--yours may be
different). In the "Screen" Section I have
# The Colour SVGA server
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "PCI-53"
Monitor "My Monitor"

As you can the "Virtual" lines have all been made comments. This has
fixed my system so that the whole desktop appears on the screen.
Good Luck,
