Your desktop has always the highest resolution you put in your XF86Config (this is called virtual desktop) even if the "real" resolution is lower.
You can change resolutions with Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt--. If you want Xfree start with the highest resolution change these sections (for each depth) in your /etc/X11/XF86Config
| Code: | Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection

to start with the highest resolution. |
