Look in 'etc/X11/XF86Config' and find the section called:
Section "Screen" and inside find subsection display
should look something like this:
========================
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 800 600
EndSubsection
========================
read 'man XF86Config' for details but if you edit
this to the screen size you want all will be well,
btw do you know you can "zoom" using
Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Plus and Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Minus?
