Hi Kristin,
  You're welcome to mail a copy of your XF86Config (or XF86Config-4
depending on system type) to my home address (cobra@compuserve.com) and
I'll give you some ideas.  Do you know what resolution you want to run
in on startup (for example, 800x600, 1024x768, ...)?

It is unusual for windows to open larger than your screen unless you are
running a very small resolution like 320x280.  Is there a specific
application that opens to large?  How about xterms, can you see them on
screen?

And finally, what kind of video card is it?
