The configuration file for your Xserver is /etc/X11/xorg.con

Check in there.  There are options for screen size (modes) and desktop
size.  I'm not sure of the specific settings to control the viewport size vs
the resolution but they're in that file.  Otherwise, check
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for information on what the Xserver is doing when it
starts up.  You might be able to glean some information there as well.
Don't even bother with Myth until you fix this.
