I can't help wondering why you'd want a 4x3 aspect ratio on a screen
that has a (roughly) 16x10 widescreen aspect ratio, but that's your
baby.
After you set the monitor type and display in
System->Administration->Display, do you also go to
System->Preferences->Screen Resolution to set that? I had a similar
problem with my 16x10 monitor until I changed both.
