Try the following:

1: Copy the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
2: In a Terminal enter sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
3: Change the Screen section as followed:

Section "Screen"
 Identifier "Default Screen"
 Device "nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro]"
 Monitor "Generic Monitor"
 DefaultDepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                   Modes "1280x800" (choose your resolution)
        EndSubSection
EndSection

4: Save the file
5: Restart the system

Hope it helps.

To get hidden, due small screen area, hidden button "Apply"
Please press keyboard ALT button and drag your opened window.
