Lubuntu doesn't use Nautilus, so I doubt it will work as intended. -- Yorvyk -- Lubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> Hello, Yorvrk, Thank you for your comment. However, I did some more study and I have to disagree with you. I checked the newrez script and it seemed to me that the nautilus relevant part is probably just for creating a gnome panel launcher. The core command of the script seems to be the following line: xrandr --fb $H"x"$V --output $device --scale $scale"x"$scale So I executed the command directly in the terminal with a scale of 1.25 over the default resolution: xrandr --fb 1280x750 --output LVDS1 --scale 1.25x1.25 The result was still the same. The mouse could only be moved inside the original 1024*600 area, but not to the extra area increase by this command. Is it still related to nautilus? I don't think so. -- WANG, Xiaoyun Shanghai, China
