I have recently installed Linux Mint 15 "Olivia" (MATE Desktop) on my Asus EeePC 1001-PX which only supports a maximum resolution of 1024x600.
However, there are many things that get hidden out of screen that I can't access by any means (some are settings I would like to change, others are options in applications I have to use, etc).
I previously had Windows installed (I know I'm crazy) but the truth is that I could force a 1024x768 resolution on Windows (even though the pixels would vertically be kind of messed up because of the 168 pixel increase).
I have searched for answers but found none that worked. I think maybe I have to install different graphic drivers?
In case someone wants to know, here is the output of inxi -Gx:
