Im using a Mac Mini, intel 1.83MhZ with intel 950 GMA, with intel 945
chipset.  Neither the Display Settings in the control panel, nor the
context menu from the desktop have a scaling option. I can indeed
switch resolutions, but the Display Properties only has options for
resolution, orientation (landscape, portrait) and Advanced option.
the Advanced options only have options for color quality (bit depth),
resolution, and refresh rate.  No option for full screen scaling.  The
GMA 950 control does not have options for scaling... or if it does,
please point me to where.  I've tried all the options across all the
screens.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff.
