In /etc/X11/XF86Config, you'll have a section similar to the following:
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
When you start X in 1024x768, the virtual size will be 1280x1024. Moving
your mouse pointer to the edge of the screen should cause the screen to
scroll, and the remainder of the screen will be seen.
To prevent this, remove the 1280x1024 portion of the mode line in the
config file.
