You should have a XF86Config file in your /etc. That's what you want to
edit. Here is a copy of part of mine, where I changed the virtual line
to have the same size (1024X768) as the screen, which essentially
disables the function:
# The Colour SVGA server
Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
# Use Device "Generic VGA" for Standard VGA 320x200x256
#Device "Generic VGA"
Device "CBR-Journey2"
Monitor "CBR-Journey2"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
# Omit the Modes line for the "Generic VGA" device
# Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
# Use Virtual 320 200 for Generic VGA
# Virtual 1600 1200
Virtual 1024 768
EndSubsection
