    Hello everyone,

    I recently helped my girlfriend purchase an AA1 running Linux, and I have been fascinated by it as much as she has.

    One problem that I have come across and so far cannot find a solution for is the limited screen resolution. On some programs, when I open the settings or options window, part of it is hidden below the bottom of the screen. Even when I hide the status bar, it's not enough to be able to see all the options.

    Does anyone have a solution for this? Perhaps some sort of screen zoom function, or a virtual screen that you can pan around... anyone?

    If you hold down the Alt key and left-click over any part of the window, you can place the window anywhere you like. That way, you can drop the window so that the title bar is off the top of the screen, which will allow you access to the dialog buttons.
