HP Mini 110
Linux

OK, I realize this is a really old netbook, but it's just the right size and I like taking it places that I don't have to be afraid it will be stolen.  And besides, it still works.  I hate throwing something away if it still works.  

Anyway...   Windows XP being long part of history by this point, I have been putting a sequence of light Linux distros on this netbook.  With a few tweaks for the wifi driver (need to make sure that driver is written in stone somewhere), I have always managed to keep it operating, but the one thing that really bothers me is the screen.  Using Linux Mint, I can not see the bottom 2 or three rows of the window.  It will work when I plug an external monitor into it, but I'd like to see about getting it to work on the native screen.

In the settings, display, it tells me that my screen resolution is 1024 x 576.  On the HP website, it says my monitor is 1024 x 600.  Would that discrepancy result in me not being able to see the bottom rows?  Is there any way for me to tweak the resolution to make it pick up those last two rows?  Or, barring that, is there a keystroke command that will inch me down in the screen so I can see the last two rows?  Those rows are usually where the "OK" or "Apply" buttons hang out, so they are kind of important. 

Thanks for your attention.

It only has  Widescreen Display (1024 x 576). But it still displays all information on its screen.

I don't know your machine therefore I can't tell. It must be HP Mini 110-something.

Hi!  Thanks for replying!  My bad.  It's a HP Mini 110-1030NR.  I couldn't even find this model on the HP website, but that is what is written on the tag.
