This sounds like the "Virtual Desktop" is larger than the actual 
display size of the screen, if I understand you correctly.

You'll want to edit /etc/XF86Config, looking for "Virtual", which will 
probably be nearer the end.  Change the size there to something that 
matches the video mode you wish to operate in.  (i.e. 800 600 if you're 
running in 800x600 mode)

Hope this helps,
Anthony Albert
