Remove your xorg.conf file. This blocks X autodetection from doing
its job.
Autodetection is fallible. with no /etc/X11/xorg* the monitor doesn't go into
native 1440x900 mode, instead 1024x768 distorting the whole desktop:

OTOH, using xorg.conf.d/ and Mageia's sis video driver it works fine, same as
before Fedora's sis driver was eradicated:
