Check your BIOS settings. Most of the embedded boards have a place to set
resolution for Flat Panels in the setup. Mine was set to Enable and had a
different resolution. I was having the same problem and after disabling the
LCD Display in the bios the problem was solved.

Control Panels and look at the "Settings" tab, I do in fact see the
S3/UniChrome Display Driver is what is described in the system. On top of
that, all the 3rd party extensions to the Advanced button (for TV out, etc)
are all there and function correctly.
