Two options:

1. Fix it by resizing the screen on the monitor. The ADI will remember
   different settings for different resolutions.

2. Fix it with xvidtune, and insert the resulting modeline into your
   XF86Config. Not for the faint hearted, and I'd recommend reading
   and understanding ESR's video timing HOWTO first:
   
       http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/

   That said, it's well worth reading anyway, even if you go for the
   easy route of adjusting the monitor. Constructing your own modelines
   can give quite a buzz, particularly when your colleages ask what
   resolution you're running at, and you can give them a wierd answer
   like 1244x934 (which I used for a while to get extra screen real
   estate on a monitor that couldn't handle 1280x1024 at a high enough
   refresh rate).
