Run the script xf86config - it should be what you want to start.
Otherwise edit
the resulting file directly, it's location is /etc/X11/XF86Config. At
the end
of this file should be the section for the X-Server settings. There
should be
entries somehow like this:

Section "Screen"
Driver  "accel"
Device  "ATI Video Xpression"
Monitor "miroC1782"
Subsection "Display"
Depth   8
Modes   "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "640x400" "400x300"
"320x240" "320x200" "1280x1024"
ViewPort0 0
Virtual 1600 1200
EndSubsection

Set Virtual to what you need it to be...

Look at the /etc/X11/XF86Config file under Subsection "Display" and set
the Virtual to wanted numbers.
