There is a way. In the Screen section of XF86Config, there are a number
of Display subsections.
In my /etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
#Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "Chips & Technologies CT65545"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 16
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "640x480"
Virtual 1024 768
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This line controls virtual mode
Viewport 0 0
EndSubsection
[...]
EndSection
You can set the Virtual line to 640 480 if you want to have the image
fit the screen.
Depending upon your version of X, the config file could be:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
/etc/X11/XF86Config
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config (or somewhere around there)
You can find out more about configuring X by reading the XF86Config
manpage.
