Black Bars on Side of Screen

When I run xfce in any resolution, it doesn't seem to use the whole screen. Right now I am running 1280x1024 @60Hz on a Thinkpad T21 with a S3 Savage IX graphics card--and on the left and right sides of the sceen, there's about half an inch of unused black--kinda like the black bars when you watch a widescreen movie on a fullsceen TV.

Is there any way to get rid of this?

Here is my xorg.conf file:

Re: Black Bars on Side of Screen

Fixed, and how dumb I am! I simply tried the nonstandard resolution 1400 x 1050.
