Gentoo + Xfree86 4.3.0 = bigger then monitor
 
I've installed gentoo and also 4.3.0 xfree and well it seems that the virtual desktop is bigger then the monitor. I'm using a LCD acer fp563 with a nvidia vanta tnt2 card. I've messed with crtl-alt-+/- and gotten it to work with scrolling. i want to get rid of the scrolling and have a nice 1024x768 desktop like i always do. I got a feeling i'm missing a line in the /etc/X11/XF86config any suggestions?

try checking your XF86config file against this (section from my XF86config file) i have it running fine in 1024x768 ...

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

dunno if that will help, i am a n00b after all, lol..
