Something I have found that seems to work, is using the generic laptop
screen for the res you want..
can't hurt to try. it worked for me when every other option failed.

Subject: RE: [newbie] Can't resize certain windows
Thanks Gerry, the ALT key trick works fine. I've tried numerous combinations
to try to get 1024x768 but all result in either a flickering display or
dashed lines accross the screen. I'm content with the 800x600 now.

If you hold down the ALT key you can drag the window around no matter where
in the window the cursor is (assuming you use kde).
Btw, if your monitor/gfx-card is able to show higher resolutions than
800x600
you probably got some settings wrong somewhere.. Try running mandrake's
x-setup again and select "show all modes" (on my pc it only showed up to
1024x768, but 1280x1024 worked fine), or run xf86config and enter the
resolutions manually.
