Try changing resolutions first, as in from 800x600 to 1024 x768 or to whatever the higher resolutions are. In the file /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 there may be an optuion that can be set, for some video chipsets. Identify the video chipset first and read the readmes at www.XFree.org specific to the particular chipset. The Option is generally called "NoStretch" If it is set, then the notebook will behave by leterboxing as you have described. Opposite behavior can sometimes be triggered by Option "UseModeline", but again this varies from chipset to chipset. So if you need help with a specific piece of hardware, we need to know what it is.
