Screen adjusting: Desktop too big for screen.
Greetings.
First of all i apologize if my english ain't exactly the best. :)
I'm from Finland but i wanted to post in english because i think i'll have an answer a lot faster. So.. The problem is that i cant see the horizontal panel almost at all. Cursor moves in there though so i can do things blind but its really annoying. Same thing with the vertical panel from which i can see only half, if even that.
I've tried adjusting resolution and refresh rate but it doesn't help. I know about a semi-lot of shit about computers but i've always used Windows as an OS mainly bacause i play like 99% of my games on a computer so i know NOTHING about Ubuntu. So.. Just a couple of days ago i installed Ubuntu alongside of my Windows 7 because i've heard so much good about it. Everything went smoothly except this one little thing. In the displays menu i noticed that it misinterprets my monitor as 32". Actually its a 50" 720p HD Ready plasma TV. Don't know if that's a problem.. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 graphics card and in Windows everything works normally.
I've been trying to read some e-books about Ubuntu but i've found nothing related to my problem. Really useful information for a beginner though. Isn't there any "manual scaling" option in Ubuntu, so i could shrink the screen down a little?
Thanks for the the help in advance. :)
