Check your X Configuration in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Find the screens
section and tweak the screen configuration you're using (svga, accelerated,
whatever):
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "My Video Card"
Monitor "Dell VS17"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
# Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768"
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
Virtual 1024 768
EndSubsection
EndSection
Your initial mode and virtual screen size should match.
I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but this is how I've always
tweaked XFree86 to disable this annoying feature.
