The skin coordinates actually are virtual.
Meaning, you can use a 800x600 skin in a a 1600x1200 display as-is. And 
what is meant to be located at the middle of the screen (at virtual 
coordinate 400x300) will appear at the middle of the screen.
But you have to:
- keep the geometry to 800x600 in the skin file
- change the geometry in /etc/freevo/freevo.conf to your actual size display

At least, It worked that way last time I checked.
