Ok, I can now login, thanks.

On the size issue, maybe I did not explain properly.

The size of my Splash Graphic is also the same size as the Desk Top.

On my 23 inch LCD screen, the desktop is in the middle of this rather 
large
screen and measures only:

	61/2 inches wide
	5 inches high

How can I get Ububtu or X to display at a lower resolution,
or, Fill my screen?

This is unusable.
