[newbie] Desktop Behaviour

[Ian Watkinson]

Hi, I have done a default install onto a Toshiba 310 CDT laptop, with Macmillan 
Mandrkae Linux 7.0

My screen will handle 800 x 600, however, all the configuration boxes are larger than 
this, so I cannot get to the "bottom" of the boxes, help !

In windows if I select a larger resolution I get a "virtual" big desktop, however I 
cannot seem to get linux to emulate this, how does everyone else deal with linux at 
800x600 ?

thanks in advance for any help
