Tom, run xdpyinfo. Look for it to tell you what resolution X is in. You may be in 320x4?? and that is why you have a weird look. Try hitting ctrl-alt-+ (that is the control key, the alt key, and the plus sign), that should try and use the next larger screen size. Why not run the X based config? It has an option for setting which size you would like the screen to start in.
