when I start x windows, the display is too big for my screen. I have to
move the mouse to the edge of my monitor, then the screen will scroll. It
will scroll in every direction. This is a pain. I can't see my entire
desktop at one time. Is this a resolution issue? How can I resolve this?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file. Under the screens section, change the
virtual to the same as your modes.

Try using the ctrl-alt-+ key (+ key on the numeric keypad); each time you
hit it, it cycles through the various resolutions set in your config files
