I used xrandr with panning after I added the mode to my xorg.conf file.

Here is the command I used:
xrandr --output LVDS --panning 1024x768

Works fine with that, so I just need to keep working on finding an option that allows me to scale the screen.

The reason I chose to use this command is because it makes it possible for me to script launching the game like this, playing, then closing it out and having the script return my resolution to the correct size without having to restart X or anything weird. I need to learn a lot more about vnc before I can get my next step of scaling the desktop to work properly.
