/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 or /etc/X11/XF86Config
In section Screen, Subsection "Display"

It should look a bit like the following

  Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480-75"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection

The ViewPort defines the desktop area
if it is 0 0 it uses the largest (valid ?) mode from the Modes line

Pick the size you want and set Viewport to that, and remove any sizes bigger 
than that from the mode line
