Exclamation Xorg Config Help Screen is too Huge!

[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
I have gone through xorgconfig about 10 times now, and every time I do, it doesn't change a thing. My screen is huge, the pointer is about 3/4 in on the screen when it used to be very small. I need help configuring this. my video card has 1 mb of memory and I have a Diamondtron NF VX720 Gateway monitor. Please I am a newbie

When you are going through xorgconfig, how are you answering this question?
"Please answer the following question with either 'y' or 'n'.
Do you want a virtual screen that is larger than the physical screen?".

The virtual screen question does not come up in xorgconfig.
