Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config (possibly XF86Config-4) file. In the
'Section "Screen"' part, look for a line starting with "virtual" and put
a "#" in front of it. If your screen is really 4x bigger, the numbers
following "virtual" will be 4x the resolution that's noted in a line
above or below.

Good luck
