Okay so that's a ratio of 1200/920 = 5/4 = 1.25
But you're trying to use a resolution of 1024/768 = 4/3 = 1.33

So it's no wonder you're getting black bars.  The picture just doesn't
fit on the screen.

If it used to 'work', probably you just set some setting on the
monitor to stretch the screen to fit, instead of adding black bars.

So, either run in 1200/920 or play about with the monitor settings to
find a way to make it stretch instead of adding black bars.

I think this has nothing to do with linux or xorg.
