Edit the xorg.conf file to match the native resolution of your notebook 
screen.  For example, something like this:

Section "Screen"
 	Identifier "Screen0"
 	Device     "Card0"
 	Monitor    "Monitor0"
 	DefaultDepth 24
 	SubSection "Display"
 		Viewport   0 0
 		Depth     24
 		Modes     "1024x768"
 	EndSubSection
EndSection

Make sure you are editing the real xorg.conf file, not just the 
sample one created by Xorg -configure in your /root directory.  I keep 
xorg.conf in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11, but some use /etc/X11.
