How to adjust the Ubuntu screen size
After you install an Ubuntu operating system on your computer, you might find that the Ubuntu desktop screen size is slightly too large to display completely. For example, the toolbar at the bottom of your Ubuntu desktop might be only partially visible, if at all. The possible solutions to this problem vary according to whether you have an LCD (flat) monitor or a CRT (glass) monitor.
If you have an LCD monitor, you have two possible solutions:
- Run "automatic configuration" to adjust the screen size on your LCD monitor.
- Activate a proprietary video-card driver.
If you have a CRT monitor, you have two possible solutions:
- Adjust screen size and position on a CRT monitor.
- Activate a proprietary video-card driver.
Running Automatic Configuration
Only an LCD monitor has an automatic-configuration button. Therefore, if you have a CRT monitor, you cannot run automatic configuration. To adjust the screen size on your LCD monitor through automatic configuration, do the following:
- Locate the automatic-configuration button. See the instructions that came with your LCD monitor.
- Press and release the automatic-configuration button to run automatic configuration and adjust screen size.
Activating a Proprietary Video-Card Driver
To activate a proprietary driver for your video card (or the built-in "video-card" circuitry on your motherboard), do the following:
- At the top of the Ubuntu desktop, click on System to display its drop-down menu.
- Select Administration to display its drop-down menu.
- Click on Hardware Drivers to first display a "Searching for available drivers window," and then after approximately 20 seconds, display a "Hardware Drivers" window.
- If the Hardware Drivers window lists only one proprietary video driver, select it to activate it. If the list contains more than one proprietary video driver, select the recommended (or newest) driver to activate it.
Adjusting Screen Size and Position
Only a CRT monitor has both "size" and "position" adjustment knobs. Therefore, if you have an LCD monitor, you cannot adjust screen size. To adjust screen size and position on a CRT monitor, do the following:
- Locate the horizontal-size, horizontal-position, vertical-size, and vertical-position adjustment knobs. You can usually find these knobs at the back, or under a cover at the front.
- Adjust the horizontal-size knob until you see a black stripe at either the left or right of the screen.
- Adjust the horizontal-position knob until you see identical black stripes at both sides of the screen.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you see only thin, identical black stripes at both sides of the screen.
- Adjust the vertical-size knob until you see a black stripe at either the top or bottom of the screen.
- Adjust the vertical-position knob until you see identical black stripes at both the top and bottom of the screen.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you see only thin, identical black stripes at both the top and bottom of the screen.

Tips:
Sometimes, it could be difficult for you to operate this tool properly. To avoid difficulties, you must know the following tips:
- If you need to capture the screenshot of your desktop only, then keep all other programs either closed or minimized except the program from which youre taking screenshot - Suppose MS Word.
- You can also capture the part of your current program. Suppose youre clipping from MS Word and youve to take the screenshot of this program. When you hit on the Screen Clipping option, MS Word will be minimized - You will get 1 second to restore it. Then you will be able to capture the running document.
- If you wanna take the screenshot of a particular program, you must keep that program running - Make sure the window of that program is running - It shouldnt be minimized - Thus you can find that program in the list of Available Windows.
- If you have multiple windows open on your desktop, only maximize the window which you wanna capture - Keep all other windows minimized or closed.
- Remember, After hitting the Screen Clipping button from the Screenshot option, you will get near about 1 second to choose any screen - Within this time, youve to minimize or maximize a program that you would like to capture.
- You can also save the image after clipping a screen. Right click on the clipped image, then choose Save Picture As > Choose Picture Type > Name the Picture > Save the Picture on your hard disk. Applies to MS Word only.
Good to Know:
If you wanna add any previously stored image from your hard disk in your document, then hit on the Insert Tab > Select Picture option > Choose your picture.
