HELP!!  I'm desperate here.  The screen resolution is set so low that I
can't fully display any windows or such.  I am trying to configure
Evolution for my e-mail and can't even close or save because I can't get
to the buttons that will allow me to do that.  My preferred resolution
would be at least 800 by 600. I am new to Linux in a graphical interface
and don't know where to proceed.
