Clicking on the maximize leaves the 1/4 page showing but the rest of the screen is a black border.  Any suggestions as to why this is happening?  I have tried it with several windows packages and all of them do the same.

Check that you have required video mode. Run 'xrandr' and see if it lists the mode your game needs. Make sure that refresh rate matches as well. For example if you have 800x600 listed with only 55Hz refresh rate it most likely won't work as lots of games want at least 60Hz.
