I ended up having to mess with the viewport settings in my xorg.conf.  
This is what I ended up with at the end of day, and it seems to work ok.

Section "Screen"
     Identifier    "Screen0"
     Device        "Device0"
     Monitor       "Monitor0"
     DefaultDepth 24
     SubSection  "Display"
         Depth    24
         Modes   "1920x1080"
     EndSubSection
     Option "metamodes" "DFP-1: 1920x1080+0+0 { ViewPortIn=1920x1080, 
ViewPortOut=1846x1036+37+22}"
EndSection

Of course you'll need to tweak those ViewPortOut numbers to match your 
screen.

Cheers,

Andrew.
