I ran into that, and some searching seemed to indicate that the size of 
the virtual desktop is always the size of the largest resolution you 
have specified in your XFree86Config file.  So, if you have a setting 
for 1600x1200, but are (currently) running the monitor at 1280x1024, 
the virtual desktop is still at 1600x1200.  So, if you really aren't 
going to use the 1600x1200 setting you can set it so the one you use is 
the biggest one in the config file.

Hope that helps.
