What you're seeing is the desktop is 1920x1200, but the actual display window 
is some other size, probably 1280x1024 I'm guessing.

Honestly, if I were in this situation, I would just reach for a live CD of 
some type, and hope it got the X config right, then copy it over to my hard 
drive.

Also, if you have Windows on that thing, what does Windows do with it?  (If 
you don't, no complaints here mind you.  Just saying if you have it...)

Ooops, gotta run.  Maybe somebody else will follow up.
