I have an Asus pc with a 13 inch screen. I have installed ubuntu but having troubles with the resolution. Some things appear very small. I can't seem to find a way to fix it. I added a screenshot to show my problem. You see my filesystem,that looks okay. And also two programs in a really small window with incredibly small font. Is there a way to fix this.Problem
Not sure what the problem exactly is, but you can activate "Large Text" in the Universal Access settings of ubuntu.
Systemsettings -> Universal Access -> Seeing -> enable Large Text
That would make all your text larger for easier to read text.
