In /etc/X11/XF86Config edit the "Virtual" line in the "Screen Sections"
under the name of the server that you are using.  For example, change the
"Virtual 800 600" to "Virtual 640 480" if you are using Modes "640x480" :

	# *******************************************
	# Screen sections
	# ******************************************

	# The Mono server

	Section "Screen"
	    Driver      "vga2"
	    Device      "CirrusAVGA"
	    Monitor     "TTX"
	    Subsection "Display"
		Modes       "640x480"
		ViewPort    0 0
		Virtual     640 480
		#Virtual     800 600
	    EndSubsection
