Considering I'm not sure about your system ,Try going to control center,appearance and adjust accordingly

Or maybe System > Preferences > Monitor

Yeah for sure you have to change your screen resolution, at least for the letters to be smaller!
(sorry, the anti-linux thread make me feel so bad)

Are you sure you need to change the screen resolution? Might it be that a pair of stronger spectacles might be a better bet? :D :D :D

Play bonny! :hattip:

Boswell2,
What distro are you using? And what version?
What video card do you have? If it is ati or nvidia, have you installed the proper drivers?
If using: System > Preferences > Monitor (or similar) does not have the resolution that you want, you can try using xrandr to add undetected resolutions:

Write back if you need more help. Provide as much info as you can. This will better enable others to help you.
