[Bug 490844] [NEW] Screen doesn't fit in all the space available

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

The maximum resolution allowed in the configuration tool is 800x600, but
the screen doesn't fit in all the space available; if I change the
resolution to a lower value, the screen will get even smaller, in
relation to the netbook monitor.

This is really a bad problem because the monitor is already very small
with all the screen available.

Attached goes a picture showing the problem more clearly.
