If you have multiple resolutions defined, then the highest resolution will always be the size of your desktop. If you have 1600X1200 defined, but you're running at 800X600, you'll have a 1600X1200 desktop.

Edit your XF86Config(-4) and change all the virtual 1024 768 lines to virtual 0 0.

It could also be ViewPort, so change that to ViewPort 0 0 if necessary.
