Hmm.  It sounds like you have the man page for xboard 1.2, but are
running a more recent version of xboard.  xboard 1.2 is three years
out of date, but for some unknown reason, there has been at least one
commercial Linux distribution that came out with an xboard 1.2 man
page and an xboard 3.x binary!

I suggest you get the current version of xboard and its man page from
ftp://ics.onenet.net/pub/chess/X/xboard-3.2.pl2.tar.gz.

In the meantime, use "xboard -size medium" or "xboard -size small" to
make the board smaller.
