The low resolution isn't terribly standard, but the 'large virtual 
desktop' is one of the default ways for X to behave - it's not 
a bug, it's a feature.

Even if it's a feature *I* don't like. :)

The config file for the system as a whole are in /etc/X11.
Every time I set up X I wind up scouring through that directory 
AGAIN to try to sort things out. I keep forgetting in the interval.
Sorry.
