Hi, Chris,
You need to set the virtual screen size. Go to the "Screen" section of
your /etc/X11/XF86Config. I'm running X at 32 bpp color depth and 1024
x 768 screen resolution. Set the virtual screen size to the same as
your screen resolution. The lines from my /etc/X11/XF86Config look like
this:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1024 768
EndSubsection
Restart X and your desktop should be the same size as your screen. Good
luck,
Hidong
