In /etc/XF86Config:
Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "ATIgraphics"
    Monitor     "NECmonitor"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768" "1152x864" "1280x1024" 
        ViewPort    0 0
        Virtual     1024 768
    EndSubsection
EndSection

I set the first entry in "Modes" to be the same with the "Virtual".

I think that's the purpose of virtual desktops; they are always bigger
than the actual desktops.
