I have a new Toshiba laptop with an NVidia-based card. The screen can do a resolution of 1600x1200.
I tried to use my Gnome control panel to increase the font size, and that works for many applications, but a number of applications, notably mozilla, and xmms, still use painfully tiny fonts. I'd rather go back to using a resolution of 1024x768, which is comfortable for me.
LCDs like on laptops can't really do that. They can scale 1024x768 up to 1600x1200 and display that, but it's /ugly/. At least in my opinion, you're much better off just fixing the fonts in everything.
Most fonts should be fixed by using the GNOME and KDE control panels. Mozilla you can fix in "Edit->Preferences", choosing "Appearance" then "fonts" in the dialog box and then increasing the font sizes shown there. XMMS has a font option in the preferences. Most other apps will use your GTK font settings as configured by GNOME.
Any idea how to "stretch" the display to fill the screen in a smaller mode?
It's often a BIOS setting. Otherwise, no idea sorry - p'haps somebody with a Geforce*go based laptop can help out....
