Use xf86cfg to get things like the keyboard and mouse right, then set the resultion to 1600x1200 in XF86Config. Note what I say in my article that anything less than 1600x1200 resulted in the effect you're seeing now. Check out my example XF86Config in the article if you need more guidance. On the bright side, 1600x1200 looks awesome on my 8100.
