You can use "alt-left click" to move screen around.
Right click top of screen and use "resize" to get window
to fit.
Use "edit preferences" to change font size.

You may need to change xorg resolution to get overall
better visibility; not always possible; especially with the
newest puppies.

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.

this may mean something to you but I wouldn't know what or where to do things with it.
not a problem for me because I use opera.
