Standard installation on computers with nVidia cards generates virtual desktop
(large than physical one). All what you need is to reconfigure X-server:
    1) click Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login into textual console (click on Ctrl+Alt+F7 to
back into graphics),
    2) enter root mode with command: sudo su -
    3) stop gdm with command: invoke-rc.d gdm stop
    4) reconfigure X with command: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (xserver if you
are working with Warty)
    5) start graphics again: invoke-rc.d gdm start
