Maybe try this: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 19#p228219
and change the panel size to your resolution.

I know the OpenChrome driver, it is not really the best in Linuxland: for resolutions that are outside of the range you need to insert modelines into xorg.conf

Hope somebody can chime in who still uses VIA cards. Or you cna try this xorg.conf: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 55#p213155
