This is called a virtual desktop. When you are configuring the order of modes, it asks you whether you want virtual desktop or not. Since you don't want it, say No. I can't stand it either...but I use 3 out of 4 desktop screens. > If not, does anybody know what I might have done wrong?

You xvidtune. It's pretty safe, while you know the max hsync/vsync of your monitor and the clock freq. Just make sure that those values are not exceeded when configuring system. (This is how I get around my problem: I have a 1280x1024 res. but the monitor leaves a top and right sides blank by about 3/4 inch. I vidtune it everytime I have to restart X, which is not very often. I am sure there is a way to change settings in XF86Setup, but I just don't feel like doing it.).
