Depends. If you move the mouse around the screen, does the monitor "move"
its view of the (virtual) underlying screen? How big is your monitor physically?
The simplest possible problem you might be facing is that your system is set
to display a virtual display larger than the real display. Try pressing
(simultaneously) the CRTL-ALT-NumericPad+ keys and see if that reduces or
eliminates the problem.
If it does, you'll want a more permanent fix. For that, go into the file
/etc/XF86Config (using a text editor) and find the section called "Screen"
-- there will be several, and you need the one that goes with the X server
you chose to install (probably SVGA or one of the accel[erated] servers).
In the appropriate section, do two things:
1. On the "Modes" line, change the order of sizes so the largest comes first.
2. If there is a "Virtual" line, comment it out (put a # character at the
beginning of the mine).
Alternately, you might want to use the program xf86config to do the setup.
It walks you through the steps needed and, at the end, creates a proper
XF86Config file for you. Probably easier than editing XF86Config by hand.
