Ok, so I installed Ubuntu on a EEE PC, with default screen resolution of 1024x600. Ubuntu recognized this screen resolution correctly, no problems there.
However, some windows are too big to fit. For example, I installed Google Chrome and when I try to open its "Options" I can not see the buttons towards the bottom.
The display driver Asus offers for Windows allows a resolution of 1024x768 where in the screen moves when I move the mouse towards the bottom. I can understand this is probably not possible on Linux, but atleast, I should be able to force the resolution to 1024x768 temporarily to change settings.
Any suggestions on what I should be doing? There's no /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore, and the resolutions offered in the "Display" administrative setting are all lesser than this one.
(And don't tell me to install UNR. It sucks. I tried it. And even on it, the Chrome window has a problem, it can't be "maximised" . Besides I don't like to see everything maximised the way UNR does it anyway)
